The report will include- - The metrics that we collected during the assessment - A big picture view of your current strengths and weaknesses as a climber - A strategic approach to improvement catered to you - Guidelines, drills, and exercises to lead you forward Cost: $99 (20% off for Block Members) ** Price includes a 2-week membership to The Block starting on the day of the assessment.** To book an assessment or for questions please call 775 895 3171 or email [email protected] Thanks to @piney_films for the awesome footage!

Thanks to everyone who showed up to watch and support the @mellowclimbing film tour last week 😎 Thanks also to @parlay6brewing for hooking us up with refreshments during social hour and intermission and to @sparshfalls @piney_films and @ibhoops for facilitating and providing equipment for the show. Here's to more rad events in the future 🍻

The spray wall got a facelift last weekend. We've added some jugs, removed some big holds that weren't doing much good, and switched a few other things around. The current target for the wall is: - to be great for circuits in the lower angles - to be great for boulders at 40- 45 degrees Keep that in mind as you set and climb on the wall. The spray has been updated on Stokt and all previous climbs that were untouched in the reset remain loaded in the app. Thanks to Dean Katsaros for helping with the physical and mental labor. Happy climbing everyone!

After over two years of training, it was finally time for Lil Meezy to head to Spain and cut her teeth on some limestone. Although impressed by the golden rock and wrinkly tufas, she yearned for unclimbed terrain. So, with bunny for support, she set off alone into the unknown. Reaching the summit in under a minute, she named the route "Papa, I need go dump". The next day she returned to rap bolt it. The route is destined to be a classic and is rated 8baby. Thanks to @sparshfalls @cvgisme @ifhyryan_ @_k.hass_ for making this trip logistically possible and to all the Block members for making their work (relatively) easy 😎 #peoplefromtheblock

Block founding member @reeseeepoo recently moved to Europe with his wife @bbbbblisa In addition to the kind words, he left us a bell from Austria, where he'll be living. The bell is now on top of the 45 ready for celebratory rings...or to request a cup of tea. Thanks for all of the support Reese, we'll catch you on the other side of your journey abroad. Safe travels and happy sending 😎 #peoplefromtheblock

Sticky rubber and nylon ropes aren't going to do you any good if the holds are soaking wet....! 🤠 🦍💨 #ingenuity @shanjean
