Ascent New Haven

Meet Noah! You’ll usually find him climbing, hanging out, and chatting with just about everyone around the gym. If you’re trying to spot him... just look for the weird tan lines.

Thanks for being a part of the community, Noah!

Endless climbs, adjustable angles, zero repeats. The Kilter Board is the easiest way to customize your session: train a specific movement, work a project, or just try something new. Andrew (Andrew Daniels) walks you through how to get started on the Kilter Board

Ever wondered how a climb goes from an idea to the wall?

Our Intro to Routesetting Clinic is your chance to learn the fundamentals from Ascent’s head setter and build problems that the community will climb for the following week.

Quick Galina tip for climbing: finger tape isn’t just for support, it can be a smart way to manage a split before it gets worse.

If you feel a split starting, clean it, then use tape to gently secure it so it doesn’t keep reopening on holds. Keep it snug, but not so tight that it cuts off circulation or limits movement.

It’s a small fix that helps you stay on the wall instead of getting shut down by a little tear.

Meet Rich!

Rich has been climbing for a long time and has been part of Ascent since the beginning as one of the gym’s founding members. If you’ve spent enough time around here, you’ve probably seen him laughing, cheering someone on, or walking around with a huge smile on his face.

Say hi next time you see him around the gym.
