How Rock Climbing is the Best Team Building (contact Tumblebees for your next corporate event!)

Over the past couple of decades, team building programs have helped thousands of businesses reach their goals. You may have heard or read about corporations that send groups of employees off to specialized training programs in the wilderness, but did you know that you can still achieve the same results right here at home? You don’t need to invest thousands of dollars in team building. As a local business based in Greensboro, the Ultimate Climbing Gym is available to help.

Taking Risks

The premise of team building is to encourage risk taking in an environment where team members have each others’ backs. Solving the problems set for the team requires working together, often in a physical way, where everyone must pitch in to reach a solution. This responsibility towards other team members encourages bonding and team reliance, which should continue once the team is back at work.

Climbing Teamwork

In a climbing gym, the teams are small. In fact, they consist of just two people: the climber and the belayer. The job of the climber is self-explanatory, but belaying is the job of keeping the climber from falling. The two must work together as a team to minimize risks in order to achieve a successful climb. As the climber ascends the wall, he must relay instructions to the person on the ground doing the belaying. Meanwhile, the belayer must pay attention to the climber and be alert for any problems that may arise. By the end of the session, belayer and climber will be proud of their teamwork and accomplishments.

Facilities

The Ultimate Climbing Gym is suitable for corporate groups and small businesses. We treat everyone alike. With advance notice our climbing space, which includes a 40-foot-tall lead climbing area and 16 top ropes, is available seven days a week. We set routes for all abilities and skill levels. In addition, we have a private room where your team can meet before or after the climbing experience to address concerns and discuss results while they’re still fresh in everyone’s minds.

Let us know what you want from your team building exercise and we’ll do our best to help you achieve it.
