about
The guy who started Nosotros only climbed 3 times before opening the gym. What does that mean for you? Anyone can be a climber.
Nosotros means we because people matter.
Some have said that Nosotros saved their life. How do you help someone with a bad addiction? By learning their name, asking questions, and making introductions. You’ll notice that Nosotros has three values engraved on its front desk: learn names, ask questions, introduce people. When we do this, it replaces unhealthy friends with healthy friends. Nosotros is making a difference and we’re having fun while we do it. We’re relational because people thrive on good relationships. We invest in customers and they talk to each other. Whether you’re a first-timer or a climbing vet, an addict or not, you belong here.
Climb Into Our Backstory
MISSION
Our rock holds help households
Climbing sparks joy and friendship. Our mission is to use these benefits of rock holds to help households. As one of four nonprofit rock gyms on Earth, Nosotros must be focused to succeed. We aim to help people by adopting four principles from the Air Force — physical, intellectual, social, and faithful.
Physical: Our climbing is rehabilitative. Learn more.
Intellectual: Our climbing treats depression. Learn more.
Social: We help communities in need. Learn more.
Faithful: We take prayer requests. Any and all are welcome. Send a prayer request.
