🧗♀️ SF’s Technique of the Month: Heel Hooks
We’re kicking off the month with one of climbing’s most versatile moves: the heel hook 💪
Heel hooks let you use the back of your foot to pull in, create tension, and stay stable on overhangs or big moves. They’re also great for slopey holds or holds that face away from you—places where your toes just won’t cut it. It’s a total game-changer for body control, balance, and reach!
🎯 Pro Tip: Use Your Whole Leg
• Place your heel above or beside the hold
• Pull with your leg to bring your hips and body close to the wall
• Engage your core and move with control
Climbing in SF? Look for TOTM stickers on bouldering and roped climbs designed to help you practice this technique. And don’t forget to check our climbing calendar for technique classes across our Bay Area gyms to level up your movement!

Beginner Climbing Tip: Use Your Toe Box!
When you’re first learning to climb, it’s common to place your arch on footholds—but for better control, aim to use the toe box of your climbing shoe instead.
The toe box (the stiff front part of your shoe) is designed to give you:
✅ Precision on small footholds
✅ Better weight transfer and body positioning
✅ More mobility to pivot and turn your hips
Ready to build your skills? Join one of our Intro to Technique classes!

⭐️ Sunnyvale | July 3
⭐️ Santa Clara | July 10
⭐️ San Francisco | July 21

Sunnyvale Powerlifting Competition 💪
In May, our South Bay Fitness Manager Oscar hosted another incredible powerlifting competition at Sunnyvale, bringing together 14 strong, dedicated lifters from across the Bay Area.
Over half competed in the Open Women’s category, many of whom trained for months leading up to the event. The energy in the gym was electric ⚡️—cheers echoed as PRs were broken and first-time competitors found the confidence to keep going.
What stood out most was the community. New friendships formed, familiar faces returned, and support poured in from every corner of the gym, even from guests just stopping by.
Huge shoutout to the Sunnyvale front desk crew and the amazing volunteers who helped make it all happen!
...
⏰ Only 2 days left until the bouldering comp of the summer hits Sunnyvale!
This year, the setters are going full old school:
No volumes. No coordination dynos. Just outdoorsy, high-tension, powerful moves.
Who’s ready to pull hard and throw down? 🏆
It’s going to be an epic day—don’t miss it.

🧗♂️ SF’s Technique of the Month: Toe Hooks
This month is all about Toe hooks. Toe hooks let you hold tension, and can offer stability or reach in situations where other options won’t work.
🎯 Pro Tips:
• Pull with the top of your foot like you would with your hands
• Keep tension through your leg and core
• Use it to match, move, or even rest
Climbing in SF? Look for TOTM stickers on roped and bouldering climbs to help you practice the technique.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️🌈
Our 2025 Pride shirts are here, illustrated by Rockville, Maryland-based artist Helena Wu!
We’re donating $10 in proceeds from every shirt sold in June to our community partner @queercrushclimbing
🌈About the artist:
Helena (she/her) @helena_pocket is a Rockville, Maryland-based freelance illustrator whose work is infused with dreamy colors and nature-inspired vibes. With a portfolio spanning video games, product design, and a variety of other freelance work, Helena also actively engages with the local (and queer) art scene, frequently tabling at markets throughout the Baltimore and the DMV region (DC, MD, VA).
Helena’s love for climbing started in 2016. She’s a boulderer at heart, but will always offer to clean up sport anchors just to spend a little longer on the wall. Always trying to merge her hobbies together, she previously worked on the Movement Rockville Murals in 2023. She loves finding new ways to subtly celebrate the queer community and explore gender expression, and this year, she was given the opportunity to create a fun, dynamic graphic to showcase the vibrancy of the queer climbing community!
