Summit Climbing and Training

Hey there, I'm Joshua Burman! I'm a Routesetter, Coach, Certified Personal Trainer, and Climber that has been in the industry for 10+ years. I love the practice of climbing as a means to feel healthy and active, as well as to improve and manage my mental wellbeing. To find out more about me, stop on by jshbrmn.com


I offer comprehensive climbing and fitness oriented coaching and training for busy, complicated people, provided by a climber that's also busy and complicated!


It's hard to fit it all in after a long work day, dealing with kids, managing injury, or any number of other things that can make it difficult for us to work towards our goals.


Many things can get it the way, so I wanted to offer a service to help facilitate your goals. That could be achieving the first of a grade, getting fit for a climbing trip, or just wanting to feel healthy on the wall and/or rock. The sky's the limit (but give yourself a rest day after)!


If you have any questions or inquiries regarding training, climbing, or anything else, please feel free to reach out at [email protected]

Mixed Climbing and Training

If this is a one-off session, we can focus on developing a well rounded regimen, that will help build a strong and functional body, depending on your needs and current physical fitness. If this is a series of sessions, we will focus on continuing to develop these things, while focussing on really diving deep into the needs of your body as it applies to climbing and your physical and mental wellbeing.


*depending on the approach, this can be either a single "one off" session, or a continuation of a series of sessions.
