Meet the Founders

Aesthetic Climbing Gym was founded by Trevor Arndt and Dillon Arndt in 2012. Through shared experiences and combined knowledge of construction, the Arndt brothers set out to pursue their dream of opening one of the top climbing facilities in Orange County. It took over 4 years of going to meetings with investors, accountants, marketing specialist, and business gurus for the planning of ACG to get underway. It took 3 months of long days and endless nights for Aesthetic to be fully constructed and doors were finally open on September 2, 2012!! Since then, the two founders have continually sought ways to expand the facility and keep raising the bar on what should be the ultimate indoor climbing experience. ACG was named the best climbing gym in Orange County in 2014 by the OC Weekly and currently ranks amongst the top gyms in all of Southern California.

How can I get better at climbing?
