Since 1998, Team PRG has trained the best climbers in the region to become some of the best climbers in the country and even the world.

Team PRG is the highest level of Youth Climbing Instruction that PRG has to offer. One of the longest-standing & largest team programs in the region, our focus is on developing skilled climbers who are safe, passionate, and can reach their full potential.

Our teams compete throughout the year in youth events around the area.

In addition, Team PRG offers several trips to world class climbing areas such as the Shawanagunks, Red River Gorge, New River Gorge and elsewhere. On these trips, our team members hone their mental and physical skills on some of the best outdoor rock climbing the US has to offer.

What our Team (Parents) are saying

PRG also has unique and well-established camping/outdoor climbing trips, which are NOT TO BE MISSED. Our kids would live down there all summer if they could (and had enough clean underwear).

The camaraderie of the climbing team and incredible dedication and support provided by the coaches cannot be overstated.

...it's amazing how much confidence Sarah has gained from climbing!
