Making Training Better for Everyone.

For climbing gyms, being able to efficiently systematize employee training without draining your limited management resources is a massive challenge.

We created Mentor to give you the training platform and tools to onboard and train efficiently on your specific gym operations, while also offering critical ongoing education to all of your employees.

You now have access to customized, scalable training solutions to empower your staff, improve customer experiences, and boost your business performance.

Employees meet targets;
Mentors exceed them.

In the climbing gym industry, delivering business success requires scaleable tools that support employee development in both the short and long term.

Each Stage of Employee Development is Critical

#1
Recruiting & Hiring

Finding and hiring top-tier staff who will support your gym's short-term operations and long-term objectives.

#2
Onboarding

Training on the gym's operational SOPs while clearly communicating the organization's needs expectations.

#3
Development

Ongoing development is critical for any employee to become a lasting, highly productive member of the team. Mentors are developed, not hired.

Onboarding is expensive.
How much value are you getting?

Establish Effective Onboarding and Training Systems

It's incredibly difficult for most climbing gyms to hire experienced, knowledgable climbers who are also effective at providing high-caliber customer experiences.

Often there is a large gap between the skills employees have, and the skills they need to fully support your gym's operational needs and business objectives.

The challenge is, there is a lack of affordable, accessible, and time efficient resources that support the needed employee skill development.

Mentor exists so every one of your employees can gain the skills they need, when they need them, without placing unnecessary stress on your time and financial resources.

It's a win for you, a win for your employees, and a win for your members and guests.

You're In Good Company

We've been partnering with climbing brands large and small to create and distribute climbing gear education for over a decade. Here's a small sample:
About Us

The Team

Increase safety, employee retention, retail sales, community engagement, and overall guest satisfaction by empowering your staff to meet customer expectations through a comprehensive gym employee training platform.

At WeighMyRack we've been creating and sharing climbing gear education for over a decade.
Our mission is to make climbing accessible to all through climbing education.

Andreas Unterschuetz

Andreas started his career in the aerospace industry, designing interiors for planes including the Boeing 787 "Dreamliner". After leaving the design world for a stint in outdoor retail, Andreas followed Alison on what ended up being an 8 year roadtrip while they grew WeighMyRack and climbed across the country and around the world.

Alison Dennis

Alison has been the brains, and brawn behind WeighMyRack since she started it as a side-hustle in 2011. With degrees in both Computer and Systems Engineering and Psychology, Alison has brought her empathetic desire to bring climbing gear education to the masses through WeighMyRack and her leadership roles on mountain rescue teams.

Jeff Jaramillo

Jeff has been the resident Trad-Dad and head of education at WeighMyRack ever since a "chance" meeting at the International Climbing Festival in Lander, WY. And the rest, as they say, is in a blog post on WeighMyRack.
