Growing Climbing from the Heart of McCall

McCall is surrounded by incredible granite, yet many people never discover climbing as part of their outdoor lives.

Conscious Climbing was created to make climbing approachable for youth, families, and first-time climbers through supportive, professionally guided experiences at The Thinking Spot within Ponderosa State Park.

We're not just introducing people to climbing—we're helping grow the climbing community in McCall.
