Lotteries funding-
A great big thank you to Lotteries Yukon for their funding support of 3000$ to Climb Yukon for the purchase of training equipment for the youth team and PC drop-in nights to help everyone advance their skills to the next level!
Drop-In Update-
We're getting ready for the New Year! It's looking promising for drop in bouldering in the New Year at Porter Creek High School. Climb Yukon is hoping to get access shortly to do some cleanup, upgrades and implement some Covid Safety Measures in preparation for opening up in the New Year. Stay tuned for more info!
We are however sad to announce that there will be no Youth team this year as students are restricted to their own school cohorts. In the interim, we are looking forward and planning some great new ideas for next year!
Stay safe and stay positive out there!
