Mentor Overview

Your Role as a Mentor

As a mentor, you are someone with expertise in climbing that your mentee does not have. You can help guide your mentee in multiple areas.

1) Coach – Provide advice to enhance the mentee’s climbing performance and development.

2) Form Community – Help connect the new climber with folks in the Base5 community and meet new people that they can climb with or reach out to as belay partners.

3) Create Routine – By climbing with your mentee once a week for 8 weeks you’ll help them turn climbing into not only a hobby but a regular activity. This will help them learn how to build climbing into their regular routine in a sustainable way.

Mentee Overview

What Your Mentor Can Provide

Your mentor is someone with expertise in climbing that you may not currently have. There are a few areas where your mentor can guide you:

1) Coach – Provide advice to enhance your climbing performance and development.

2) Form Community – Help connect you with folks in the Base5 community and develop new friends that you can climb with or reach out to as belay partners.

3) Create Routine – By climbing with your mentor once a week for 8 weeks, you’ll turn climbing into not only a hobby but a regular weekly activity. This will help you turn climbing into a sustainable routine.

At the beginning of the program, spend time clarifying why you joined the mentorship program and what you want to accomplish. This will create an intention for you both to work towards over the next 8 weeks. ‍

Testimonials

“This is a great program. I think the climbing community should be about sharing and encouraging others. There is also so much to be gained from thinking about habits and techniques”

“Me and my mentee have been getting along great and also hangout outside of our sessions. It’s been cool to see [them] progress each week.”

“This mentorship program is a great opportunity to make a new friend and to allow both the mentor and the mentee to improve at climbing. By teaching fundamental climbing techniques, I also started to focus more on how my technique could improve.”

“I feel very fortunate to have been matched with such an incredibly knowledgeable, patient and experienced climber. I feel I have really benefited and pushed myself already in the short time that [we] have climbed together.”

I have been climbing at this gym since the early 90's. The new management is doing pretty well by the the place. I am impressed with the amount of investment they are making to fix the old place up. The route setting is once again becoming worthwhile. I am glad to see the grades getting slightly harder and more consistent with Squamish style grades. I am looking forward to see what changes are yet to come. One improvement I would like to see more of is better consistency across the different route setters. Is there a base 5 route setter training program?

Always changing routes. Great staff. Just a little small of space, you feel a bit on top of each other when it gets busy.

This place is alright. Bouldering problems feel a bit tougher than I'm used to, but that's alright. The space is a bit smaller than others, but charge a comparable price. The staff are relatively friendly.What actually makes me feel like it isn't that great is the space. 1/3 of the gym is under construction. Walls and mats are a bit old (and not very grippy) and at some places just broken. A couple of the volumes are splintered making a bit iffy to utilize, and one of the walls is straight up missing a small piece wall, leaving exposed wood.Wasn't very crowded though with the bookings so it was good in that aspect!
