The Climb to your Elevated Life
It's time to rise above your default future! It's time to discover your self-perceived limits and rise above them!
Create connections, share wisdom, and breathe deeply. We will help you prepare physically and mentally with 12 weeks of basecamp programs. In July, we'll join up in Colorado and The Climb Team will take care of everything else—from lodging to food to facilitation.
Join us for our fifth year of The Climb, and rediscover how transforming it can be to reach for, and achieve new heights!
And, new for 2025, if you've been on The Climb before, you qualify to join us for the Alumni edition... a special "misogi challenge" to continue your Vertical Development journey.
Missouri Mountain
2024
2024
In 2024 we climbed Missouri Mountain. The terrain and scenery was breathtaking - as was the ascent! We experienced all four seasons that day… from a near freezing pre-dawn departure, to mist and fog, changing to snow and hail near the summit. This year, our 3-month workshop focused on Nutrition, Mindset, Fitness and Gear Prep - really enriching the experience! We all read and discussed four great books this summer and came away bigger, better, smarter, and stronger!
Mount Elbert
2023
2023
In 2023 we climbed Mount Elbert, the highest summit of the Rocky Mountains, the highest point in the U.S. state of Colorado, and the second-highest summit in the contiguous United States.
Quandary Peak
2022
2022
In 2022 we climbed the 14,272-foot Quandary Peak. This ascent was persistent from the trailhead to the summit. But we all made it—and it felt good. The three-day anti-retreat included day hikes, great food, learning, success, friendship, and renewal.
Grays & Torreys
2021
2021
From dark to dark, a long day brought two 14ers for the price of two. The time was incredible, as were the days that bookended the ascent. We learned more about ourselves, our limits, and our potential. These experiences stick with us long after we return home.
