July was such an exciting month and we cannot wait for all that August will bring!! Huge thank you and shoutout to everyone who competed, volunteered, climbed, purchased tickets, or participated in any way in our THE VALLEY IS CALLING…AND I MUST CLIMB top rope competition! We are so grateful for our climbing community who make events like this such a success!

We also want to thank everyone who joined us at our Retired Rope Making Fun event at Fat Tap Beer Bar! We love being able to pair up with our fellow local businesses to support each other, bring climbing out into our community, and even be able to support the climbing community with the Carolina Climbing Coalition! (We also really enjoyed meeting everyone’s doggos and seeing pictures of them with their new leashes!) We are hoping to be able to plan more events like this in the future!!

Lead Class – Our August Intro to Lead class is full! But don’t worry, we still have a few spots available in our next class on Sunday, September 5th from 6-9 with Zach. This class is filling up quickly, so be sure to ask a manager if you are interested about signing up or about the prerequisites for the class.

Full Moon – Our Full Moon Climb will be on Sunday August 22 from 6:30pm to 8pm. We are opening up this Full Moon Climb to Members and their families for Back to School! Be sure to bring your headlamps and come climb in the dark with us!

Members Only Potluck – MEMBERS! Be sure to mark your calendars for our Members Only Potluck on Sunday August 8th from 6pm to 8pm! Bring a dish, enjoy the company of your fellow climbers, have a nice dinner, play some fun games, and CLIMB WITH US!

Summer Camp – Our summer camp is nearing its last few weeks. We still have spots available in our last 2 weeks of camp, Pirates of the Carabiners August 2 through August 6th and Summers sEnd August 9th through August 13th!  The kids are loving climbing, bouldering, art and games. Each week the kids set their own climbing and bouldering goals and our counselors are committed to helping them reach them. We also teach some climbing lingo and friendships are formed along the way.

Camps are week long from 9AM-1PM Monday through Friday and are for kids 7-14. The price is $200 for members and $230 for nonmembers. A $25 annual registration fee is required once a year and will be collected on the first day of their camp – but they get the NEW Kids SHIRT! Any questions, just ask, but remember to sign up early.

Kids REC Team – Our kids Rec Team and Climbing Team will begin at the end of August and the beginning of September! Our Rec Team is a fantastic introduction for all ages (7 to 16). This group meets weekly on a scheduled date with a coach who facilitates the group learning different aspects of climbing. We will be keeping these groups on a 1 to 5 coach to climber ratio which will really allow the coaches to truly help your climber grow. Please email [email protected] for more information or to sign up!

Kids CLIMBING TEAM – projectROCK will be hosting free tryouts for our projectROCK and PRC teams on August 21 and 22 from 10AM-12PM. Every climber not already on a team at projectROCK will need to try out, unless discussed beforehand. Please email [email protected] for more information!

Back to School Sales Tax Holiday – All projectROCK shirts will be exempt from sales tax starting Saturday, July 31st through Monday, August 9th, 2021. Be sure to stock up on some of your favorite shirts before school begins!
