Created by climbers for climbers

The American Scholastic Climbing League is a non-profit 501C3 created in May of 2018 following a ten-year successful run of the Colorado High School Climbing League. 

Our goal is to connect climbers in an atmosphere of positive competition and to foster the best aspects of climbing in middle and high school students.

Testimonials

See what gyms that host ASCL comps have to say about the ASCL…

“ASCL is amazing to work with! They are very friendly, but, also, provide an amazing opportunity for younger climbers of all origins to find their passion in climbing! We at Denver Bouldering Club are happy to build an amazing community with them!”

“As a climber and setter who grew up in the USA Climbing circuit I’ve watched the level of competition skyrocket over the past decade, with many of the competitive climbers having started at a very young age it has become near impossible for climbers who find the sport in middle or high school to keep up. With this gap it’s nice to work with ASCL, the league does an excellent job of providing a place where newer climbers can find success and camaraderie through climbing. Additionally from a climbing gym perspective the impact to the regular operation of the gym being so small makes it easier to host events while keeping the gym’s bottom line in mind.”
