EMPOWER YOURSELF WITH CHALLENGER POINT PRACTICE

GET TO KNOW CHALLENGER POINT PRACTICE

Challenger Point is a 14,087' mountain in Colorado. It is named in honor of the astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger that exploded in 1986. At the summit, a plaque reads "Ad Astra Per Aspera", which is Latin for "To the stars through adversity." This phrase captures the mission of Challenger Point Practice, the personality of owner Matthew William Carlson, and the attitude we want to help you have when you're facing hardtimes.
