The TTX Foundation has created a commemorative t-shirt to celebrate this season and represent our entire region. While it is not team-branded, it was designed with our broader climbing community in mind. The shirt features a heavyweight, fashion-forward boxy cut for a comfortable and modern fit. Orders can be picked up at Ropes Regionals or shipped directly to you for added convenience.

Team Texas is celebrating an incredible weekend on the international stage!

A huge congratulations to Team Texas speed climbing athlete Claire Pee for securing the bronze medal, and to Team Texas alum Lucas Vales, who also earned bronze, at the 2025 IFSC Pan American Cup in Armenia. Their outstanding performances showcased not only their world-class athleticism but also the spirit, resilience, and determination that define Team Texas.

Claire continues to push the limits of speed climbing with her focus, precision, and relentless drive—qualities we are proud to see representing our team and community. Lucas, a Team Texas alum, continues to inspire current athletes by demonstrating what’s possible with dedication, hard work, and passion for the sport.

We could not be more proud of both athletes for representing Team Texas on the international stage and contributing to the growing legacy of competitive climbing in Texas and beyond. Their achievements motivate all of us—coaches, teammates, families, and future athletes—to keep striving, training, and believing.

Please join us in congratulating Claire and Lucas on this remarkable accomplishment. We can’t wait to see what’s next!

Go Team Texas!

Team Texas Climbing traded in chalk bags for paintball guns this weekend! It was an awesome day full of laughter, friendly fire, and a few colorful battle scars. Everyone showed off their competitive side in the arena—but most of all, we just had fun hanging out together off the wall.

Huge thanks to all the coaches, friends and family who came out to cheer, play, and take photos (we’ve got some great ones below!). Events like this remind us how special our climbing community really is—whether we’re on the wall or out in the field, we’re stronger together. Can’t wait for the next adventure!

What a way to start the season! Our first Team Texas Climbing party of the year at Carrollton was a huge success — thanks to everyone who showed up, helped out, and brought the energy. From pumpkin carving and cookie decorating to “The Floor Is Lava” and our epic costume competition, every event brought out the best in our team spirit (and a few hilarious moments too).

Big thanks to all the friends, families, and volunteers who donated supplies and helped make it happen. You’re the reason these events are so much fun. Check out some of our favorite photos from the night below! 👇
