CALIFORNIA STATE GAMES

California State Games is a nonprofit organization and the largest amateur sports festival in the state. They aim to manage and provide an Olympic experience for youth athletes across the state. As the host facility, Mesa Rim strives to create a challenging environment for competitive youth climbers to test their skills and further develop as athletes. We also hope to foster a fun and supportive environment wherein athletes can practice their craft alongside their peers, without the pressures of performing in the traditional youth climbing competition structure.
