May 29th - Boulder Comp Fundraiser for SCC's Purchase of Steele, AL

As any avid South Eastern climber knows, the SCC has been raising money to purchase Steele, AL to secure public access to an undeveloped cliff line in Alabama. The SCC has passed the half way mark for funds needed for the project and has about $26,000 to go. Everyone here at Urban Rocks wants to see the SCC meet their goal so everyone gets new rock to climb!

In order to show our support, Chattanooga's Urban Rocks Gym will be hosting a bouldering comp fundraiser for the SCC's purchase of Steele.

The comp will be a Citizens Format, with divisions as follows:


CategoryDescription
Open v7+
Older Adult 40+
Adult 29 -39
Young Adult 18 -28
Teen 13 - 17
Kids 12 & under


The Details


Date: Friday - May 29, 2009

Time: The Comp will run from 6pm - 9pm with awards and prizes at 9:30

Cost: $15 Entry Fee:

- $10 of your fee will be going straight to the SCC
- $ 5 will go in the pot for each category's winner!

We are planning for Mens and Womens categories in each division, but that really depends on your turnout.

So load up the car and head to the 'Nooga for a night of fun!

For those locals that have been toying with idea of a gym membership, we will be waiving our start-up fee for our recurring membership for all participants. If you have any questions about our memberships, check out our website Urban Rocks Gym or give us a call at (423) 475-6578!

EVOLV Dyno Comp Results


Ryan and Jimmy at the Evolv Dyno Comp
Originally uploaded by Urban Rocks

A big thanks goes out to everyone who came out to support Urban Rocks, Evolv and most importantly the SCC's purchase of Steele, AL! The Evolv Dyno comp raised $100 to help out the SCC with their Steele purchase.

There were 12 dynos set-up for the comp and climbers kept track of how many dynos they successfully climbed (awarding flash points for those who sent on the first go!) The results from the comp are as follows:





1st Place: Jimmy Webb
2nd Place: Jake Higginbotham
3rd Place: Ryan Carl

Thanks to Evolv and Kurt Smith, 1st and 2nd places walked away with a FREE pair of Evolv climbing shoes and 3rd place walked away with a new Evolv chalk bag, flip flops and a travel mug. Congratulations to the winners!


Don't forget that the Stone Alliance Tour is coming up on May 2nd. Come check it out for a sneak peek at three of the newest climbing videos featuring climbs all around the world! Get your tickets at Urban Rocks Gym now!
