The Valemount Climbing Club is a non-profit, 100% volunteer-run facility. All profits go directly into the operation costs of the gym, with the ultimate goal of being able to hire paid employees and coaches for specialized programs in the future. The club welcomes volunteers to join their team in order to expand drop-in hours and offer more programs to the climbing community.
The club acknowledges that their activities take place on the unceded ancestral territory of the Simpcw and Lheidli Tenneh First Nations. They are committed to promoting a safe and inclusive climbing environment for all members and visitors.
