We have an advanced medical injury evaluation developed for climbers coming up this September at Lincoln Heights. Performed by both Dr. Jared Vagy (aka The Climbing Doctor) and Dominic Park, a USC Upper Extremity Athlete Fellow, you will learn the reasons why you are injured and what is holding you back from achieving your true climbing potential. Your posture, muscle strength, flexibility and climbing technique are all assessed to give you a blueprint of your body identifying asymmetries and you will be set up with a plan to treat your injury.

There are only 3 spots available (open to members & non-members). For more details and to sign up visit strongholdclimb.com/lh/jaredvagy

Power is back up at our Lincoln Heights location!⚡️Thank you to all our members for your patience, as we troubleshot the situation.

Come grab a session with us today here or at Echo Park!
