MEMBERS ONLY CHALLENGE: This month we are challenging all members to take on Everest! For the month of September, members are invited to log into Kaya and track their climbs to see just how high they can get in 30 days. The following list are summits that you can check off along the way!

Mount Everest: 29,032 ft
Shispar- Pakistan: 24,970 ft
Denali- Alaska : 20,310 ft
Mount Rainier- Washington: 14,411 ft
Mount Hood- Oregon: 11,250 ft
Mount Washington- New Hampshire: 6,288 ft
Big Rock- South Carolina: 1,808 ft

For each summit you reach, show James your kaya account and we will get you a raffle ticket to win prizes. The top climber of the month will win a free months membership and anyone who reaches Everest will also win a free months membership. ** Must be a member in good standing as of 9/1/2023 as well as on 9/30/2023. In Kaya, all climbs in the gym show how many feet are equal for that climb. For example, 60 foot wall climb equals 60 feet. Yes, we do agree this is challenging…that is why it is a challenge! Let’s support all members reaching for those heights this month!

If you do not have the Kaya app, what are you waiting for? Ask Nate or James in the gym for help with this cool way to track and share your climbs.

TEAM TEAM TEAM TEAM…it is that time of year and our youth climbing team is ready to really get to training. Some of the team has trained all summer, but if you haven’t or you are new to the sport NO WORRIES. Coach Nate will be the head coach again this year and he is REALLY ready to get your kids strong and ready to compete – whether it be at a USAClimbing competition or in life.

This is a sport that is unlike all others. For information please email [email protected] or [email protected]. (ages are 7 to 17) Team practices started the week of August 21st. If you missed the tryouts in August, reach out and see if we can get your kids in for a make-up session.

Recreational Climbing Club – If you want your kids to come climb weekly, but not as intense as team training, then this is for you. Sign your kids up for Rec club with James. There is no monthly commitment for the REC club but we only take 4 kids per session so signing up in advance ensures your kids climb. We will be holding REC at 4:00PM to 5:30PM on Wednesdays for kids ages 7-10 and at 4:00PM to 5:30PM on Thursday for kids ages 11-15. (pricing for weekday REC is $32.50 per session) REC will also be held on Saturdays from 9AM-10:30AM for a price of $45 per session.

The price includes the gear and the coach for 1.5 hours of climbing and instruction. REC will begin the first week of September. Reach out to [email protected] to get signed up.

Homeschool TUESDAYS! – September 5th and 19th! NEW TIME: 10AM-NoonWe will have all dates on the website for you to plan ahead as well! During Homeschool Tuesdays, we keep the ratios low to encourage more climbing and we also encourage parents to belay their own children if they are so inclined (yes, we can teach you for a minimal fee during the homeschool times). Pricing is $25 for each kid who climbs with our guides and $13 for those who climb with their parents. Plan to attend 2x per month and meet the homeschool group that already calls projectROCK home. Ages 5-17 are welcome to come and climb as this is geared towards HOMESCHOOL aged kids!

Flashback Friday! September 22nd – We will have some 70’s music grooving in the gym to invite all of you to come and sport your tie dye shirts! Wear the one you made recently or possibly one from a year’s past, but we can’t wait to see how the projectROCK Member Tie Dye shirts turned out! Come sport them on this fun theme filled evening.

LEARN the ROPES – Every Saturday from 1-3PM at projectROCK – New to climbing and want to learn what it’s all about? In this class we teach climbing tips, belay certification, terminology overview, and technique guidance. After this class, you will have all the knowledge you will need to get started in this amazing sport. This class not only teaches the tall walls, but also focuses on some instruction to get started in bouldering.
