Local Climbing

Rock Climbing… Not as tough as ya think!… Unless you’re a forearm

Have you ever been fifty feet off the ground, trusting a rope and some padded webbing to keep you from becoming a victim of gravity? NO?… your missing out. I started rock climbing while I was living in NH. It started out with a little bouldering around a stone bridge near a swimming hole and blossomed into a full-fledged hobby that had me scaling the 1000ft walls of Seneca Rocks.

So When I relocated to DC I needed to find a place to climb! Enter Sport Rock Climbing Centers… This is a      great local Climbing Gym with two locations in the area (Sterling and Alexandria). I frequent the Alexandria location because of its proximity to Arlington and have enjoyed every vertical foot climbed there. Since the Alexandria location, or SR2’s, expansion they have doubled their capacity and increased their ability to offer climbing routes that accommodate all different ages and abilities.

Sport Rock isn’t just a wall with holds either. If you fancy canceling that membership to Bally’s you can get a full time membership to SR, which offers yoga classes, crossfit, and exercise equipment too. SR is a 1 stop shop for a good time, good work out, and a great intro to the sport of climbing. Now Rope Up And Get Vertical!
