Our Story
THE NAME MOONROCKS PAYS HOMAGE TO A GEOLOGICAL WONDER LOCATED NEAR PYRAMID LAKE.
WHILE NOT A TRADITIONAL CLIMBING AREA BY ANY MEANS, MOONROCKS OHV IS A PROTECTED AREA BY THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT (BLM). THIS POPULAR PLAY AREA IS HOME TO FREE CAMPING, OFF-ROADING AND ROCK CRAWLING WITH BEAUTIFUL SCENERY ANY ADVENTURER WHO SEEKS TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING “OTHER WORLDLY” IN THE HIGH SIERRA DESSERT.
AN OUTING WITH FELLOW VETERANS RYAN AND TIM TO THE AREA PROVIDED THE CATALYST TO CREATE A NON-PROFIT AIMED AT HELPING VETERANS AND TRIBAL MEMBERS EXPLORE A VARIETY OF SPORTS. FROM THIS EXPERIENCE CAME A HOME WALL HE BUILT IN ROB’S GARAGE IN DECEMBER OF 2019, JUST PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC LOCKDOWNS. DIFFERENT CLIMBERS GRACED THE WALLS OF THE HOME WALL, WHICH WAS EVENTUALLY NAMED MOONROCKS BOULDERING AS IT EXPANDED FROM A SINGLE WALL TO TWO OVERHANGS AND DOUBLE THE CLIMBING AREA. WITH THE HELP OF THE PRE-ESTABLISHED SPONSORS OF THE HOME WALL LIKE ATOMIK CLIMBING HOLDS AND AWESOME CHALK BAGS, THE IDEA GAINED TRACTION AND MOMENTUM.
ON FEB 5TH, 2021, MOONROCKS OFFICIALLY BECAME A 501(C)(3), HITTING THE GROUND SPRINTING TO MEET ITS GOALS.
