Say Hello to Linh! A beloved key holder at the Design District location and they have been with us since April 2024.
They love to cook, watch yellow jackets with their partner, socialize with friends, enjoy jean memes, and sip on a nice cup of warm ranch dressing on the patio. Their climbing journey began in rental shoes for over a year because they never took it too seriously. It wasn’t until their peers and elite athletes like Mao Nakamura, Erin McNeice, Annie Sanders, Sam Watson and Sorato Anraku that inspired them to climb harder. Their favorite class to teach is specifically Intro to Rope Climbing where they can help new climbers overcome their fear of falling and challenge their own expectations of what they can accomplish. Advice they would give to new climbers is - “if you have a body, you are an athlete, and all bodies are climbing bodies. Having the right mindset is just as, if not more important, than getting up the wall. Be Linhtentional [pun intended] in your movement and celebrate every small victory.”
Next time you see them, say hi, and be sure to question them about their ranch usage 🤪

This year`s shirt design (pictured, @turdrodeo with the 🔥, as always) draws inspiration from the Hanged Man tarot card (the 12th card in most traditional decks) - representing ultimate surrender, sacrifice, or being suspended in time. Quite fitting, don`t you think?
1 girl, 1 week, 4 gyms 💪
Join our resident social media girlie @rachelosb_ (who may or may not be writing this caption 🤫) for a glimpse into a week in the life of a climber (and amateur yogi/stairmaster lover) across Movement DFW!

Who says you can’t get your MFA while working on a V4? 🧑🎨
There’s science behind what makes a beautiful climb, and our setting team at The Hill just proved it by applying the fundamentals of graphic design to their craft.
Here’s your crash course in the principles they used:
emphasis ⚫️ // draws attention to the most important part of your design
proximity 🔴 // grouping related elements of a design together
contrast ⚪️🔴 // creating noticeable difference between design elements. adds visual interest to a design, as the human eye naturally gravitates towards higher contrast
balance ⚪️ // the distribution of visual weight within a composition, creating a sense of stability and equilibrium. ensuring that no single element overpowers the others
white space 🔵 // areas of a design left intentionally blank, creating breathing room + clarity in a design
visual movement 🟡 // explores how the human eye is guided through a design, creating a journey from one element to the next
repetition 🟡 // similar elements are reused or repeated throughout a design, creating visual consistency + unity
Got you 😏

SBS 2025, we miss you already 🖤
We had a blast this past weekend with you at Plano for our 3rd and final SBS event of the 2025 season! Nothing we love more than watching our community come together to climb + support each other 🥹. Special shoutout to all of our podium finishers - y’all crushed 😮💨

Our 2025 Pride shirts are here, illustrated by DMV-based artist Helena Wu! We’re donating $10 in proceeds from every shirt sold in June to one of our favorite LGBTQIA+ community organizations, @myresourcectr 🏳️🌈
Resource Center provide programs and assistance to LGBTQIA+ communities and anyone impacted by HIV/AIDS through advocacy, health, + education, and has been serving DFW for over 4 decades!
About the artist: Helena is a Rockville, Maryland-based freelance illustrator whose work features dreamy colors and nature-inspired vibes across video games, product design, and local art markets throughout the DMV region. She actively engages with the local art scene, frequently tabling at markets throughout Baltimore and the DMV area. Helena’s been climbing since 2016 as a boulderer at heart, though she’ll always offer to clean up sport anchors just to spend a little longer on the wall. She previously worked on the Movement Rockville Murals in 2023, always trying to merge her artistic and climbing hobbies together. This year, she was given the opportunity to create a fun, dynamic graphic to showcase the vibrancy of the queer climbing community for this year’s Pride design, reflecting her love for finding new ways to subtly celebrate queer identity and explore gender expression. 🌈

This girl is on fire 🔥
DFW’s very own Annie Sanders is absolutely crushing the 2025 IFSC World Cup circuit this season - she’s 3 for 3 on podiums and showing the world what she’s made of!
This season’s highlights:
🥇 GOLD at the Keqiao Bouldering World Cup
🥉 Bronze at the Wujiang Lead World Cup
🥉 Bronze at the recent Salt Lake City Bouldering World Cup (on home turf!)
Watching Annie compete at the highest level and represent our community on the world stage has been nothing short of incredible. If you’ve witnessed Annie climbing 5.13+ up, down, up again, and down again x10 like we have in our gyms, you know how hard she’s worked for this.
Next up: Annie heads to Europe for the next leg of the season, starting with Prague this weekend. We’ll be cheering you on from Texas, Annie!

Survey closes June 11!
Big changes are coming to all of our DFW gyms! You’ve been asking, and we`re delivering. Starting Monday, June 9th, we’re switching from the Color Circuit system to V-grades on all of our boulder problems! 🔥
V-Grades are the standard way to rate the difficulty of bouldering problems, and this change will make it easier for climbers to understand and track their progress. Most gyms across the country, as well as outdoor boulders, use the V-Scale - this change helps our gym community speak the same "language" as the broader climbing community beyond our walls!
These changes will go into effect all at once on June 9th, but we’ll have signage up in the gym matching the colors you’re used to with corresponding V-Grades to allow for a smooth transition 🤩
V-Grades will create a standardized system across all DFW gyms, eliminating confusion when climbing at different locations. At The Hill and Design District, where color circuits currently align with hold color, this change will also give our routesetters more creative freedom by giving them the ability to use a wider variety of holds for each grade since they will no longer be circuit specific.
We`re excited to introduce this update that will bring our gyms in line with the broader climbing community. We`re committed to creating the best possible climbing experience for everyone - from beginners just starting their journey to experienced climbers looking for consistent benchmarks! See you on the walls 👊
