Pay What You Can Memberships

At Climb Moab we want to increase access to the sport we love so much. Living in a rural community we understand the constraints put upon working people in this town. If you or someone you know is interested in climbing but can’t afford a membership right now please encourage them to apply!

Our pay what you can program operates on a sliding scale basis. Applicants choose what they pay between $1-$64/month. The remainder is made up by our community membership pool, which pulls from the generosity of existing members electing to pay extra each month to allow a person in need to access the benefits of a climbing gym membership. If you would like to contribute to our community pool please let us know.

Our pay what you can program lasts for 6 months from the date you are accepted. After 6 months we will ask you to reapply to assure that your financial need has not changed.

We have limited spots in our pay what you can membership program. If your financial need has changed we ask that you not reapply so that we can make space for those in need.

Criteria for applicants:

All applicants must gain a referral from one of our partner organizations. If you are seeking an application please reach out to the following organizations for more information.
