Sportrock is excited to be hosting a USA Climbing Youth Bouldering Qualifying Event that will take place in the Sportrock Performance Institute (SRPI), the new bay at our Alexandria location. The competition will run over two weeks from November 2nd to November 15th. Competitors will need to sign up for SRPI timeslots if they wish to compete. Hours and links to sign up can be found at the link in our bio. Timeslots will become available to book five days from their scheduled time. If you sign-up and decide not to come, we ask that you please call to cancel your reservation as capacity is limited. This is very important. Competitors will need to have completed the Sportrock Participant Agreement as well as the Supplemental Participant Agreement and have washed their hands at the outdoor wash station prior to entry. They will also need to have a USA Climbing membership and have paid the competition fee on the KAYA Climbing app to participate. Masks are required to be worn at all times in the facility. We are stoked to share the SRPI with all the outside competitors and to further develop the space as a regional hub for competitive climbing! To all the athletes, good luck! @usaclimbing @kayaclimbing @usac.youth.81 . . . . . . . . . . #usaclimbing#competitiveclimbing#region81#sportrock#sportrockclimbingcenters#sportrockperformanceInstitute#bouldering#youthsports #climbing #bouldering #rockclimbing #passion #climber #climbinglife #escalada #boulder #bouldering #boulderinglife

(And if you have any tips or channels I can follow to improve my video editing, pls send them my way!)
We are extremely appreciative of the way our community remains respectful of the climbers around them by adhering to all of our health and safety measures. This includes keeping a mask on and ensuring that your mask covers both your nose and mouth at all times. We also feel it is important to have a continuing dialogue regarding not only our policies, but also recommendations on best practices from experts. With that in mind, we have included a slide detailing the CDC's guidance regarding what masks are most effective and how they should fit. To everyone who continues to take an active role in maintaining the safety of this community we all love, thank you!
There are only a handful of Level 5 USA Climbing Certified Routesetters in the country. Here is Sportrock Climbing Centers ‘s own Jeremy Hardin working his magic in the Sportrock Performance Institute. How beautiful are those big red Walltopia volumes though?!

Words from AMGA Rock Instructor @tm.sean Sportrock’s Director of Alexandria & Outdoor Programs (They/ Them): In October of this year, I had the distinct privilege of working with the @amga1979 and @mountainhardwear to teach the latest in a series of affinity courses aimed at building access for underrepresented populations. This course was for queer, transgender, and other LGBTQIA2S+ climbers looking to become Single Pitch Instructors, in beautiful Joshua Tree. It was a truly incredible time, and I am so excited to see all these incredible climbers grow as guides and mentors! 📸 @ladylockoff Land Acknowledgement: Yuhaviatam/Maarenga’yam (Serrano) and Newe (Western Shoshone) home and ancestral lands

@theeyesofb pulling hard on a steep south classic. Posted @withregram • @theeyesofb Tsalaguwetiyi Land • Movement Sternum. It’s titled Sternum after the feature in my left hand. This is hands down one of my favorite boulders in the south. I think I love it because it forces beta, but allows for some minor variation. I love watching how different folks get through different problems. Personally my beta* was really wonky! 3 heel hooks, and one very long move at the beginning. Have you climbed Sternum? Was your beta classic, or did you switch it up?

The Top Out Boulder set has been up for about two weeks. Here is Drew Garden styling on a JD yellow tag. Let us know your favorite problem in the comments!
Governor Stable (GS) in Pennsylvania is a special place. It sits in the shadow of the three mile island nuclear reactor. The density of this diabase boulder patch means there is something for everyone from v0-vHard. The boulders are on private land so every year @scpclimbers makes careful arrangements with land owners to allow access. This means respect for guidelines and limiting impact is paramount if this gem is to be enjoyed for the long run. Governor Stable is open this year from February to July. You can support access and conservation efforts by donating to SCPC on their website. guidebooks can be purchased on the @gunksapps. Here is @jrod397 jamming on Fisticuffs.
Both Alexandria, SRPI and Sterling locations are open and will be closing at the normal time tonight! Drive safe everyone !

The boulders are on private land so every year @scpclimbers makes careful arrangements with land owners to allow access. This means respect for guidelines and limiting impact is paramount if this gem is to be enjoyed for the long run. Governor Stable is open this year from February to July. You can support access and conservation efforts by donating to SCPC on their website. guidebooks can be purchased on the @gunksapps. Here is @jrod397 jamming on Fisticuffs.
Both Alexandria, SRPI and Sterling locations are open and will be closing at the normal time tonight! Drive safe everyone !

We are super excited for S4 Youth Team member @abigail.humber becoming an official @sterlingrope athlete! Her dedication to the sport is fierce and it seems like we aren’t the only ones that have noticed! As a side note, a totally unsolicited plug. All the ropes we use at our facilities are @sterlingrope ! Repost• @sterlingrope 👋Meet Abigail Humber, our newest Sterling Athlete. She's a 16-year-old climbing phenom who competes on the national and international stage. She also coaches and mentors kids at her local gym, Sportrock in Northern VA. "Seeing them so inspired to work hard and chase their goals gives me motivation to do the same myself. I believe that anything is possible if you work hard and never give up, and spreading that message brings me immense joy and motivation.

Sportrock Climbing League Competition #2 is in the books! Two weeks ago competitors of all skills and abilities got together to put on an absolute show, and had a blast doing it! team “Chalk & Awe” just eeked out team “Sterling Crew” for first in the overall standings, with one more competition at the end of this month to decide it all! So far the Sportrock Climbing League has been everything we could have hoped for! It has been amazing to see all the competitors interact with the SRPI, coordinating practices and getting guidance from coaches and routesetters. All the competitors have really committed to their teams, and it is rad how excited everyone has been to grow as climbers! A special shout out to Chris Byrom and Xander Wong for taking first place in their respective categories. And another one to the routesetting team @theroutesetter @boulderva & @alexbrowndawg for turning out some really engaging blocs. This is just the start folks!

David Giacomin is with Tom Cecil and 2 others. March 15 at 12:49 PM · Hey, MD, PA, WV, and VA climbing friends! We have a really cool experience coming up with Sean Taft-Morales (Sportrock Climbing Centers Alexandria, VA Director and the American Alpine Club - DC Section's education chair) and Hans Florine on the 14th of May. The following day, May 15th, we deliver the same experience with Tom Cecil (American Alpine Club - Seneca Rocks Chapter Eduction Chair and owner of Seneca Rocks Mountain Guides) and Hans Florine at Seneca Rocks, WV. They will be sharing all the mistakes and lessons they’ve learned on single and multi-pitch climbing. Sharing self-rescue lessons = sufficiency, and how-to-fit-more-climbing-in = efficiency. Come join us for this unique climb experience with some of the most experienced climbers around.

Our members are so creative 🤯 We love to see what you are working on! Tag us to get featured! Have a rad weekend everybody🤘 Repost • @heyimkass Last night's 30min drawing. Iv been feeling a bit home sick and miss my home away from home aka @sportrock. While browsing their Instagram feed I came across this photo by @really_notjeff so I decided to do a speed drawing of it! Iv gotta say that this was def an extreme lesson in simplifying. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with the final results ☺️ I managed to record a bulk of me sketching and drawing this one, but sadly my iPad died out around the texturing process so I finished texturing on my laptop and forgot to screen record. I uploaded the parts that I did manage to save onto my Instagram tv for those who are interested. Swipe for wips and to see the original image Made on the iPad and Macbook using @affinitybyserif
