Meet Ben W. He keeps this place running and is loved for his beta and jokes.

Fave thing about VE: the people in front of and behind the counter.
Fave place to climb outside: Shovel Point
When not climbing, I like to: hike, ride my bike and play video/board games.

VED had a strong showing at Boolder Fest at UMD last week! UMD Climbing can put on a great comp! Setting was great and stoke was high. Several VE members and staff competed as well as our intermediate and advanced teams. These kids were competing against college students and they were not spooked at all!
In the beginner female category, VED intermediate athlete Riah won 3rd.
In the advanced female category, VED advanced athletes swept the podium: 1st Mia, 2nd Opal, 3rd Marah.
In the beginner male category: VED intermediate athletes Nash in 1st and Tor in 2nd.
In the advanced male category, staff Ben T won 2nd.
In bench wrestling, Tor won with astonishing speed.

We are grateful for the awesome folks at UMD Climbing and UMD RSOP for keeping this open to the community. And we are proud of our members, athletes and staff who pushed themselves and had a great time doing it!

You said. We’re doing. 💚

418 of you shared your feedback through our first VE Listens survey, and we’re putting it to work!

🎨 MORE TO CREATE WITH: New climbing holds are coming to all six gyms, giving our routesetters more tools to bring fresh, creative climbs to the walls.

📋 POLICIES THAT MAKE SENSE: We’ve already updated our reorientation and loose chalk policies, with more reviews underway.

🛠️ INVESTING IN OUR GYMS: Every location has unique needs, and we’re working on improvements big and small. Some you’ll see soon, while others will take a little longer.

We know there’s more work to do, and we’re committed to doing it.

Thank you for speaking up, sharing your ideas, and helping us make VE better.

This is just the beginning.

This month, your favorite climbs are in disguise. Any climb above 5.9 will be marked as 5.9+.

Spooky Month at VES is all about getting out of your comfort zone. We encourage you to let the pressure of grades go – whether you feel resigned to lower grades because of your skill level, or you have to prove how hard you climb, don’t forget that we’re here to build community, move our bodies, and most importantly, have fun. Get on climbs that look interesting to you, try hard, and get comfortable falling off. This is a great opportunity to brush up on your route reading skills.
