Mary and JR Krevans
“Volta is a welcoming and comfortable space both physically, and more important, socially. We are in our 60’s , one almost 50 years from occasional rock climbing and the other, new to the sport. At Volta we can be strong, be daring, be encouraged and be safe.
The ability to climb and work out there makes it possible for us to stretch ourselves in the back country and be stronger members of our rescue team. The ability to get onsite physical therapy and yoga is an added benefit. Thank you for this wonderful community.”
A greener Volta
At Volta we have a 27 kilowatt solar array on our roof which offsets our energy use by at least 80%.
To optimize our HVAC system’s energy consumption, we ask that you use chalk balls and liquid chalk in our gym.* When this system is burdened by loose chalk, it increases what we require from the grid to keep our air clean and our carbon footprint as small as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and helping us achieve a greener system!
*We have chalk balls (a mozzarella ball-sized sock for loose chalk that fits into your bag) and liquid chalk for sale at the front desk!
