Events / Reach Out Climb

ROC LOGO 2009

 

Reach Out Climb (ROC) is a non-sanctioned, fun, top rope climbing competition held here at the UREC Climbing Wall. This event is open to any skill level from beginners to experts of all ages.

This event is a unique opportunity to meet great people, challenge yourself and contribute to an important cause, the Jared Neville Foundation, which is committed to protecting western Virginia climbing sites. There will also be prizes for top climbers.

The Jared Neville Foundation
All ROC proceeds go to the Jared Neville Foundation, which was created for the late climbing great, Jared Neville. Jared was an inspiring climber at JMU and throughout the area who was killed in a car accident. Since then the foundation was created by his parents to support maintenance and access to local climbing areas.
