We Are Tufts Climbing Team

Climbing is a sport with high barriers to entry. We’re changing that.

We’re a passionate climbing community based in Somerville, MA. Our vision is to bring accessibility and camaraderie to the sport, creating a space in which our athletes can push to their upper limits.

Making climbing more inviting for everyone is possible. We’ve done it before.

Through consistent yearly efforts we’ve been able to build one of the only club-funded financial aid programs, and a robust one at that. We have access to brand discount codes to continue to keep the cost of entry as low as possible.

Ready to take the next step?

Tryouts for the team are the start of each semester. Whether it’s your first time climbing, or you’re aiming to compete in the Olympics, there’s a place for you. Following tryouts you’ll be placed onto one of three of our teams: recreational, transitional, or competitive.

Did we mention we’re sponsored?

Yerba Mate generously provides us with drink cases and energy for our events.

We’ve partnered with ZigZag Climbing to offer sustainable climbing gear at an affordable price.
