We rent out our mobile climbing wall to bring rock climbing to our community.
Our long term goal is to build an indoor climbing gym that uplifts our community in Louisville, KY. Elemental Climbing found its beginning as a simple vision shared by a small group of close friends. A vision to develop and care for our own community of rock climbers in Louisville, Kentucky, as well as a deep desire to extend an invitation for others to join that community. As the years have passe
d, the vision of Elemental has expressed itself in a variety of ways, but the simplicity of it has remained constant. Now the vision has become to build a full service indoor climbing gym that is open to everyone. We invite you to join us in making that vision a reality, and become apart of the Elemental family.
๐ Weekend Adventure Awaits! ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ Whether scaling new heights on the wall or exploring the great outdoors, let this weekend be a canvas for unforgettable moments and thrilling experiences. Embrace the freedom to climb, the joy of discovery, and the company of fellow adventurers. Make every ascent count and savor the exhilaration of the climb. Here's to a weekend filled with excitement, camaraderie, and the pure bliss of the climb! ๐
It might be a little cold outside for an event, but we think that the temps are great for climbing. In winter thereโs less humidity, which means that the rock and you sweat less. We call the fall and winter sending season. The friction is high and the gravity is light. Now get out there and climb!
๐ Welcoming the New Year with open arms and boundless excitement! ๐ The path ahead is filled with opportunities waiting to be seized, challenges to conquer, and heights to reach. Here's to a year of growth, adventure, and achieving new summits together! ๐ Let's embrace the journey and make every moment count. Cheers to a bright and promising year ahead! ๐ฅ

One very popular feature of the 2023 TKO Parkinsonโs Festival each year is the climbing wall in our kids activity area.

They'll be there from 2-6pm this year!
Did you know you can rent their climbing wall for events and parties? It's such a blast!
Thank you for supporting us from day one!
Here's a little bit of Motivation Monday for y'all! We don't think age is a limiting factor for adventure and love seeing adults and seniors reach the top of our wall.
We had a great event at our FIRST EVER family reunion! There were several generations that got to climb our wall that day and it was a sight to see!
Still our record of oldest climber stands at 90 YEARS OLD! I'm going to continue creating discipline in my life so that I'm still able to climb when I'm that old!
We had the privilege this past weekend to bring our climbing wall out to for the Pediatric Cancer Survivor Picnic. Everyone that climbed our wall has had cancer affect their lives in some way, whether they are a survivor or their child is a survivor or their siblings are survivors. If you know the story of Elemental, you know that cancer has impacted both and I. It was truly an amazing event to see these kids with smiles on their faces, having a blast climbing. We hope to carry this experience with us for all of our future events.
This is what it's all about right here! Big smiles, looks of awe and wonder... This is what keeps us going. Bringing climbing to everyone and hopefully planting the seed that will grow into a life long love for the sport.
Throwing it back to one of my first ever trips to the Red. I just moved to Louisville and and I had just met. After climbing at the gym for a bit, he invited me to go climbing at the Red with a group of his friends. None of which I had met before. We get there and I find out it's a bachelor party for ! Blake invited a random guy he just met to his friend's bachelor party! Hahahaha
Let me tell you that I'm so glad he did. I made some life long friends that day and met some of my favorite people. I love this story because it shows how climbing can create lasting connections with people and build a supportive community. That's one of our biggest desires, to create a place where those connections happen all the time.
Throwback Thursday: ๐ธ Oh Holy Boulders! This was one of the first major trips we took as a club in 2013. It was the first competition ever held at Holy Boulders, and and took home first place in their categories. Good showing for some young guns out of Louisville. Thanks for stewarding such a great place to create wonderful memories.

Throwing it WAAAAY back this Thursday with some old pictures from college. I had been "climbing" for about 3 years at this point. If you don't know, I'm from Louisiana and if you know anything about Louisiana it's less than flat. So we had to drive 2 and a half hours to go climb at the nearest climbing gym!!! After a few years of doing that we decided to take a trip to . It was one of the best climbing trips I've been on and my first trip outdoors. Needless to say, I fell in love with that place. I definitely need to get back there soon!
Temps are projected to soar over 100ยฐ this Saturday. For everyone's safety, , , we decided to cancel West Louisville Appreciation Day. We'll be partnering back up with on October 21st for Forest Adventure! We hope to see you then!

We want to know what motivates you?! Is it words from a close friend telling you not to quit? Or some amazing feat of strength?

Tip Tuesday: Conquer Slopers! ๐งโโ๏ธ๐
๐ Slopers can be challenging, but with the right technique and mindset, you can conquer them! Here's a tip to help you navigate these unique holds:
๐ก Engage Your Core and Grip: When tackling slopers, it's essential to engage your core muscles for stability and maintain a firm grip. Apply pressure evenly with your entire hand, utilizing friction and body tension to secure your grip.
๐งโโ๏ธ Body Positioning: Optimal body positioning is key when dealing with slopers. Use body tension and balance to shift your weight onto the hold, allowing your fingers to focus on maintaining contact. Experiment with different angles and positions to find the most effective approach.
๐ช Gradual Weight Transfer: To gain control and stability on slopers, focus on gradually transferring your body weight onto the hold. Avoid sudden movements or excessive force that can cause slips. Use controlled and deliberate weight shifts to maintain a secure grip.
๐ Practice Makes Perfect: Like any climbing technique, mastering slopers takes practice and patience. Incorporate dedicated sloper exercises into your training routine to improve grip strength, body tension, and your ability to read and adapt to different sloper types.
๐ฃ Share your own tips or ask questions about tackling slopers in the comments below. Let's learn and grow together as climbers! ๐ฅ๐
Remember, slopers may seem challenging at first, but with persistence and proper technique, you'll develop the skills to conquer them. Embrace the challenge, stay focused, and keep pushing your limits! ๐๏ธ๐ช

Fit Friday: Boost Your Climbing Stamina with Cardio! ๐ช๐โโ๏ธ
๐ฅ Climbing isn't just about strength and techniqueโit's also about endurance and stamina. That's where cardio comes in! Incorporating cardio exercises into your training routine can help improve your climbing endurance and overall fitness. ๐
๐โโ๏ธ Whether it's running, cycling, swimming, or jumping rope, cardio workouts get your heart pumping, increase lung capacity, and build the stamina needed for those long, challenging climbs. Find activities that you enjoy and make them part of your training regimen.
๐ Remember to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your cardio sessions. Mix it up with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or steady-state cardio to keep your workouts challenging and engaging. Consistency is key!

Hereโs a quick look at what itโs like to climb our wall. Our wall is set up to be accessible to every climber no matter their skill level. Thereโs something that will give everyone a challenge. Thatโs something weโre all about. We want to challenge you to push past what you think you can accomplish. We know that you can get to the other side and come out better for it! Hereโs to new challenges in 2024! Itโs never too early to book our wall for your event or party. Book now so you can secure your date!
@kiltergrips continues to surprise me! Every wall in the studio is adjustable, not just the two Kilterboards, but the two 12 x 12 bouldering walls as well as the massive 12 x 16 wall that was set up with a bunch of slab problems. I have to say that my favorite wall was the 10 by 12 Kilterboard with the Homewall set up. It felt more like climbing outside as opposed to the more acrobatic style of the normal @kilterboard set up. Beyond the Kilterboards themselves, Kilter has a wild amount of hold shapes and can outfit the entire gym. They also have a setting institute where we can learn how to set better and how to prepare for our opening set. Kilter is quickly becoming a one stop shop for climbing gyms and itโs really amazing to experience. Weโre really grateful for the chance to climb at the Kilter Studio.
What a year it's been! We want to say thank you to everyone who helped make this year what it was. We had so many events this year it's kinda wild to think about. We got to establish a handful of really cool relationships that will lead to some really awesome things in the next year and we're ready for the next step! We love our wall and are so grateful to everyone who booked with us this year and we're looking forward to continuing to be your curators of adventure! Happy New Year!
We got to try out the @kilterboard for the first time during our visit to @northmassboulder. This thing is such an incredible tool. It gives you a wild amount of adaptability to improve your strength and climbing technique! You can turn a decent V4 into a nearly impossible V-HARD at a 40+ degree overhung angle! We love the that the 100,000+ problems on the app are all created by and for the community. Some of the grades might be off a little bit, but Iโm sure that there are updates coming that will help with all of that. Another really useful thing that we havenโt experienced before, is the light up holds that tell you where to go. I know that the Moon Board and Tension Boards have lights also, but @kilterboard took it up a level with the integration of the light into the hold itself. Just a wild thing to do in our opinion. It definitely doesnโt leave any questions as to what holds are next. This is definitely a tool that we will have in our gym. We want to produce absolute crushers! This board along with a really comprehensive workout area and weโll find some future Olympians!
We decided that we would start visiting other gyms to get a feel for what everyone in our region is doing and get an even better idea of what we can incorporate into our gym once itโs built. We started this process at @northmassboulder. Our first impression walking in is that itโs a big, open, and aesthetic space, inviting you into explore. Over all an impressive site that will definitely get you stoked to climb. After a brief orientation, we were ready and set to climb. The boulders are stunning, but we feel the comp setting is a bit excessive with large macro holds and volumes on almost every problem. While thereโs nothing wrong with this, itโs not really a varied climbing experience from boulder to boulder. We enjoyed the interesting moves, but prefer a balance between competition style and traditional setting for a more well-rounded experience. For us, we want to have a balance between the comp style and more traditional setting. We do like the big moves and flashy volumes, but we also know the value of having a solid base of fundamental setting. We LOVED the training area! They have an abundance of machines, free weights and cardio equipment that youโll likely not have to wait for any particular thing. Definitely set up well to push heavy weights around to complement your climbing. Itโs like you get a regular fitness/powerlifting/bodybuilding gym alongside your climbing gym. We really enjoyed the @kilterboard the most, but really loved the verity of training boards available alongside a generous spray wall, and campus board. The non climbing amenities were really something else! Thereโs a wonderful cafe with real food and bar, a co-working space for all of you remote workers, free rentable conference rooms with everything you could need, saunas, yoga, trainers, classes, really just about everything you could want or need. We were really impressed with the locker rooms and the free day use lockers. It was all clean and easy to use. Definite
Over the last 8 years we've perfected our set up. We've learned a lot about effective crowd control and how to keep everyone in line and have a fair amount of time on the wall. Our setup really allows us to flow with any number of people that want to climb plus it just looks awesome! We usually allow ourselves 30 minutes to set up so we can take out time and be sure everything is safe and ready for climbers. Sharing climbing with our city is something we are very passionate about. Book our climbing wall today for your next event and let us be the curators of your adventure!
New sport unlocked! Blindfolded speed climbing!
Such a good day for being outside! You should be outside too! This weekend October 5th-8th, we'll be at the Red River Gorge for the @rrgcc Rocktoberfest!! Come out climb the wall, have a good time, win some prizes, and meet some cool people! It's one of the biggest climbing festivals this side of the Mississippi!! You won't want to miss it!
We're grateful to have been set up at @questoutdoors last Saturday for their 40th birthday! Great times and discounts were had by all!
Who else is getting ready for sending season? Got to get rid of this gut! It's been smaller and bigger in my life, but not it's time to go! Discipline over motivation. Motivation can only get you so far, it ebs and flows and always changes. Motivation isn't a bad thing, but you need discipline to carry you through the difficulty of staying consistent. Honestly, in the past, it's the one thing I never let take hold long term. I'm slowly changing that motivation into discipline and constantly reminding myself that I have goals and they are important. Usually before I begin my workout I write some motivation on our whiteboard to remind me to keep pushing and create that discipline. This is from today's workout. Here's a preview of my run, hangboard and abs workout. 1-2 mile run 5 rounds of 10 seconds on, 10 seconds off Abs for 3 minutes 5 rounds of 10 seconds on, 10 seconds off Abs for 3 minutes 5 rounds of 10 seconds on, 10 seconds off Abs for 3 minutes 5 rounds of 10 seconds on, 10 seconds off Abs for 3 minutes 5 rounds of 10 seconds on, 10 seconds off Abs for 3 minutes 3 sets of offset pullups 3 sets of negatives 3 sets of lockoffs Foam rolling and stretching for cool down.
