Sage to Summit opened our Bishop rock climbing gym in the Summer of 2018 and it has been very well received by local and visiting climbers. We built the gym around the idea of bringing the climbing community together to celebrate how amazing climbing is. We also wanted to provide the local community with all the best resources to train for their climbing goals.
Running is a means of terrestrial locomotion allowing humans and other animals to move swiftly on foot. Mountain Running is a discipline of long-distance running that takes place in mountain topography. Mountain Running can be defined by two philosophies: 1) the appreciation of the joy and benefits of moving rapidly on foot through natural mountain landscapes, and/or 2) the athletic pursuit of the fastest possible speed on foot over a given mountain route, given considerations of risk and safety.
