WHO WE ARE

Our guiding pillars, ROCK:

Routesetting

Sportrock has some of the best routesetters in the country and one of only a handful of level 5 USA Climbing Certified Routestters.  They work hard to set the most creative, challenging, diverse, and fun boulder problems and routes.  With all of our expansions over the years, we offer state of the art climbing terrain with the tallest walls in the Metro DC area.

Original

We are one of the first indoor rock climbing gyms in the country.  Sportrock was founded in 1994 by a group of climbers who outgrew a home wall in Zich’s Garage, an unused auto garage shop.  Even after 5 expansions over 26 years, we have stayed true to being a climbing gym rooted in top-notch climbing and building a strong community of climbers.
