Pro climbers are coming to our neighborhood! ⬇️
For Global Climbing Day, we’ll be joined at Movement Gowanus by @thenorthface_climb pro climbers Shawn Raboutou and Sam Elias on Saturday, July 13!
@shawnraboutou
Shawn grew up in Boulder, Colorado, son of Robyn and Didier Raboutou and brother to Brooke Raboutou. Being born into the most prolific climbing family of all time, he began climbing at two years old and has been redefining the sport since. Shawn is an internationally renowned climber, constantly pushing the limits of what is possible. With countless first ascents from V13-V17 across multiple continents, Shawn has already amassed a hall of fame resume at just 25 years old, and he’s just getting started. Some of his accomplishments include: Megatron (FA V17, 2022) and Alphane (FA V17, 2022)
@bookofsamuel
Born and raised by a Syrian immigrant father and a Polish mother in Detroit, self-proclaimed blue-collar climber Sam Elias has summited Everest, podiumed in ice-climbing competitions, and climbs everything from big walls to super-punchy sport climbs. The 36-year-old former ski racer is one of the most well-rounded climbers of his generation, and his creative passions are just as varied as his climbing ones. He’s designed everything from some of his own tattoos to the Beyond the Wall line of clothing for The North Face. Some of his accomplishments include: first ascents and new routes on 5 continents, establishing Lebanon’s first 5.14, and free climbing El Capitan — PreMuir route, 35 pitches, 5.13+, 6 days.
Don’t forget, we’re also hosting Open Qualifier and Citizens Comps for the Climb Festival NYC and offering FREE climbing + rental gear at all Movement locations on Global Climbing Day! Tap the link in our bio to learn more + sign up
