🧗‍♂️🎉 Rox Climbing Fest Recap 🎉🧗‍♀️

What an unforgettable weekend! Our very first Climbing Festival was a monumental celebration of our shared love for climbing and the incredible community that makes it all possible.

We're so grateful to have spent this time with both familiar and new faces, uniting under the banner of the Memphis Rox mission. It's been a journey filled with inspiration, knowledge, and pure climbing joy. 🏞️

Huge shoutout to the industry leaders who graced us with their presence and wisdom, and to and – thank you for helping us make this event truly spectacular. It means the world.

But it doesn't stop there! This event wouldn't have been possible without the collective effort of so many, from our phenomenal speakers to our dedicated sponsors. And to each and every one of you who shared, spread the word, and joined us, you're the heart and soul of this gathering. ❤️

And let's not forget the crew for the afterparty & sharing space and time with us. We're not just climbers; we're a united community, and it's such an honor to be part of it.

Memories were made, bonds were strengthened, and climbing dreams were brought to new heights. We can't wait to see you all again, and we're grateful to have this fantastic family in our climbing journey. 🧗‍♂️🌟

I know this Memphis heat still has us in its clutches 🥵 but it's that time of year to start collecting coats for those in need!

Coats are expensive - and many of us can't afford to get new or nice outerwear each Winter. That's why, we make sure our climbers and their families have access to warm Winter wear. No one should have to go to work or school cold.

We can't do it without you! Take part in our coat drive. Lightly used and new coats can be dropped off or mailed to our front desk at 879 E McLemore Ave, Memphis, TN 38106.
