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.
Community
Whether it’s within the walls of Sportrock or on a larger scale reaching out to various audiences. We use rock climbing as a platform to expand our community. We host a weekly Parkinsons Group, adaptive climbing, at-risk youths, fundraisers for various causes are just some examples.
Knowledge
We are committed to being a teaching/learning gym. With the addition of the Sportrock Performance Institute, Sportrock is committed to developing youth and adult athletes of every skill level, from beginner to high-performance athletes. Whether they only climb indoors or want to venture outside, we are committed to educating and preparing climbers to reach their goals.

PARTIES + GROUP EVENTS
Looking for an opportunity to bring your group in to climb? Our Climbing Parties are an ideal format for both children and adults and include 90 minutes of climbing with a dedicated instructor and all of the necessary equipment. Our instructors will encourage and aid the participants while maintaining a safe distance and wearing a mask at all times. Keeping everyone as comfortable as possible during these uncertain times is important to us at Sportrock which is reflected in our updated gym rules.
Learning the basic skills of knot craft and belaying is also possible as more of a team-building event during your climbing party. Please inquire if learning how to belay is more of what you are looking for.
