Climb Nittany is locally owned and operated by a group of Happy Valley community members who believe in the value of climbing, outdoor recreation, and community. Our ownership group brings diverse professional experience, knowledge, and perspectives, united by a commitment to Climb Nittany’s long-term sustainability, operational excellence, and reinvestment in the community.
Together, we are building a sustainable, welcoming home for climbers of all ages, abilities, and experience levels. More than simply owners of a climbing gym, we see ourselves as stewards of a valuable community resource that we want to see thrive for many years to come.
“I don’t see myself as an owner of climb nittany, but rather a stewarD for the future.”
