We are Niche Movement. We help beginner climbers become confident in their abilities by helping them develop climbing skill.
We have been where you are. We have hit plateaus and experienced life changing injuries. We have lost hope, and feared the end of progress in climbing. But we have made it through. We have learned exactly what it takes to get to the next level. In that process we have found even deeper passion for climbing and a way to continually progress.

You have not reached the limit of your potential.
You may feel like progress has slowed or even stopped. You are not alone. We have been there too, and we have learned how to recognize and accelerate progress anew.
Progress follows principles.
There are universal principles that cause progress. Whenever progress is lost it can always be rediscovered with a deep dive into the fundamentals. We are here to help you do just that.
You don't need to sacrifice your climbing time or enjoyment.
We know that you love climbing. We also know that sometimes the media makes it feel like you have to treat climbing like a job in order to improve. This is not true.
FAQS
Isn't strength training essential for climbing improvement?
Strength is necessary, but it is only beneficial when you have the skill to use it. Interestingly, once you have developed the skill to use strength, your strength will naturally grow with the increased necessity.
How long does it take to see improvement through this skill-focused method?
One of the best things about developing skill is that progress can be seen instantly. Part of the process of skill development is applying new things, and a second part is recognizing what works. This means that not only will you make progress more quickly, but you will also be able to notice progress more clearly.
Will this approach work for all types of climbing disciplines (e.g., bouldering, sport climbing, trad climbing)?
Absolutely! Climbing skill follows the same fundamentals for every discipline of climbing. The discipline you choose to pursue only changes the way you pursue skill development. For example, a boulderer will seek perfection in movement, whereas a sport climber will pursue greater efficiency in the same movement.
What if I'm already doing some form of strength training?
Fantastic! We focus on developing the skill to use strength. If you have more strength then you will simply learn how better to apply that strength. If you enjoy strength training, then by all means continue. Let us help you learn to apply all your strength!
