our 8th annual timonium 12 was an absolute blast!

check out the photos from the event on facebook 🔗 in bio.

with 104 climbers giving it their all, we collectively climbed 44 miles (that’s like climbing all the way from timonium to rockville!) team “grip and rip” took things to the next level, logging enough climbs to match el cap twice! 🤯👏

this year we wanted to spread the love for endurance climbing even further so we introduced timonium 6, a shorter but just as tough challenge. our first ever timonium 6 crew may have been small but they were mighty racking up an impressive 25,650 vertical feet! both events were packed with wild costumes, huge sends, and the best vibes all around.

🏆a huge shoutout to our rope league winners you all crushed it! and of course none of this would be possible without our incredible sponsors @metoliusclimbing @unioncraftbrewing @evolv_worldwide
@edelrid_sport @frictionlabs @aveleyfarmscoffee @micheles_granola @lasportivana @breakoutgames and @garukabars

can’t wait to do it all again next year!
