There’s no other way to put it, this place is huge and the perfect place to learn and grow as a climber. We have more than 38,000 square feet of varied climbing terrain โ just for some perspective, that’s the surface area of three Olympic-sized pools! And we certainly like to have fun here, from Harry Potter themed parties to canned food drives, we have a thriving community that is always excited to meet new friends. Come for the climbing, stay for the helpful advice from gym staff and motivation from other members cheering each other up the wall.

the perfect way to rep your local crags ๐
meet the DMV local crags tote bag! designed by the incredibly talented Vy @vyyendo and Helena @helena_pocket, this tote creates an interactive reference for both beginner and veteran climbers to observe and engage with outdoor crags in the DMV region.
if this design looks familiar, thatโs because itโs one of two murals designed and painted by Helena and Vy for Movement Rockville in 2023!!
quantities are super limited, so stop in the gear shop and get yours today โฐ
letโs wrap it up โฌ๏ธ hereโs some of our favorite stats from 2024!
- our setters set 145,752 vertical feet (thatโs over 25 miles ๐ซข)
- 3,574 yoga and fitness classes were attended
- our community showed out with 510 events hosted!
- we matched over $60,000 in donations to the ASCA & Access Fund
- 2963 ABC cookies were eaten ๐ช
- we installed 5 new training boards
- we hosted 25 competitions including Krampus Cup, Summer Smackdown, Timonium 12, and more!
2024 would not have been the same without all of you! ๐ซ hereโs to 2025!
not to flex butโฆ
shoutout to our Movement Timonium employees for letting us put their grip strength to the test ๐ช
our setters have been channeling their inner artists in the wall ๐งโ๐จ
Here are some of our favorite masterpieces from their latest professional development session! In small groups, our setters crafted a โmuseumโ piece within a frame inspired by design principles like texture and balance, then added starts + finishes to make them climbable. ๐ผ๏ธ
ย
Huge shoutout to Director of Setting, Ward, and Columbia Head Setter, Corey, the curators behind this exercise!
the energy was eclectic, the routes were fierce, Krampus Cup was one to remember ๐น
a HUGE thank you to all of our competitors, sponsors, judges, team members, and Krampus himself for making this competition incredible!
can someone say belaytionship goals ๐
huge congratulations to @journeyingjodi and her partner on their engagement! weโre honored to have been a part of your special day ๐ซถ

Partner Spotlight: Sends With Friends! ๐ฏ
Sends With Friends is a minority-led rock climbing community in the DMV area that brings together climbers of all cultural backgrounds and nationalities to build a supportive space where everyone can find a sense of belonging. Sends With Friends is committed to making rock climbing accessible by reducing historical barriers that limit access to climbing for migrants, refugees, expats, and locals. As we progress together in our climbing journey, we are able to challenge such barriers while growing as mindful contributors to the broader rock climbing community.
Sends With Friends began hosting regular meetups at Movement Rockville in 2021 and later in Movement Crystal City and Columbia, with monthly field trips to other Movement gyms throughout the DMV area.
For more info on the next meetup and other activities, follow @sends_with_friends_climbing
our Veterans Day Comp was one for the books ๐
a special thank you to our Blue Star Families, competitors, community partners, and everyone who came to came to cheer on our climbers and celebrate Veterans Day with us!
Meet our partners
We partner with organizations that help bring down social and physical barriers to climbing and who are committed to preserving and protecting the planet.
