This camp, held in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, follows a similar format as CTS’s very popular Climbing Camps conducted in Colorado. You’ll learn key techniques that help riders of all sizes and shapes excel when the road tips toward the sky. And since what goes up must come down, we'll also help you develop the confidence and skills you need to descend quickly, safely, and efficiently. Camps include a CTS Field Test and subsequent review of test data with the coaching staff to determine your most efficient climbing pace.

 

Our three-and-a half day Climbing Camps welcome riders of ALL LEVELS, from beginners to advanced. We highly recommend that your bicycle be equipped with a 12-27 cassette for this camp.
