The much-loved home gym of Westchester County’s passionate climbing community, Movement Valhalla has served the Lower Hudson Valley region for over 15 years. In that time, we’ve served as a technical training ground for Gunks’ regulars, and a recreational space for local schools and summer camps. We are strongly dedicated to youth programs, and Valhalla offers some of the best youth coaching and development in the tri-state area.
