Gravity Games: Rope Climbing Competition

GRAVITY GAMES RETURNS

We’re stoked to announce that Austin’s largest indoor rope competition is back on Sunday, November 2nd!

Whether you’re a seasoned lead climber or tying in for your very first comp, Gravity Games is for everyone. All ages, all levels—this is your chance to push yourself, cheer on your friends, and experience the full stoke of our climbing community.

Register before Oct 12th and receive a T-shirt with your registration.

COMMUNITY COMP
Gravity Games is designed for all climbers—from first-timers to crushers. Routes span every grade range, so no matter your skill level, you’ll find climbs to test your strength, head game, and strategy.

Beginner: 5.6–5.10b (top rope only)

Intermediate: 5.10b–5.11c (top rope only)

Advanced: 5.11c–5.12c (lead only)

Open: 5.12b+ (lead only)

Masters: 50+ years (top rope only)

Advanced/Open climbers must have passed Mesa Rim’s lead test no later than Nov. 1.

FINALS SHOWDOWN
The top 5 climbers in each category (per gender) advance to finals. Finals will be electric—think DJ, lights, big crowd energy, and next-level climbing. This is where the comp comes alive, and you don’t want to miss it.

PRIZES
The Top 3 finalists in each category will score prizes from La Sportiva, Scarpa, Edelrid, plus other great partners.

ALL-DAY PARTY VIBES
This isn’t just a comp—it’s a community celebration. After climbing sessions, hang out with live music, vendor booths, local food, giveaways, and an epic raffle.

VOLUNTEERS
We need 15 volunteers to help make finals run smoothly! Volunteers receive 2 punch passes as a thank-you for their time and stoke. Email helloaustin@mesarim.com to sign up for a volunteer shift from 5pm to 8 pm!
