28th Hueco Rock Rodeo

February 16-18, 2024


The Hueco Rock Rodeo is back!  After several years of hiatus, the premiere outdoor bouldering competition in the United States is on for February 16-18, 2024—and these classic problems are calling your name. We are re-imagining this festival to celebrate not only the spirit of competition that beats at the heart of elite climbing, but also the meaningful impact climbers can have on our climbing landscapes and the communities we share them with. 

The Rodeo will have you rubbing shoulders with bouldering heroes like competitors Nina Williams and Paul Robinson as you compete on some of the greatest blocs in the country, and engaging with community conversations about some of the most important topics in modern climbing. Gather at the AAC’s Hueco Rock Ranch for a weekend of climbing, awards, food, music, and community. You won’t want to miss your chance to flex your bouldering skills alongside the best in the world!

The history of this region spans millennia and is rich with the cultures of several Native American tribes, including the Isleta Pueblo, Comanche Nation, Kiowa Tribe, and the Mescalero Apache Tribe. These communities have all contributed significantly to the vibrant tapestry of history and culture on this land.

The Tigua people of the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo, in particular, have been stewards of this region for generations before we know it as it exists today. Texas State Parks along with the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo, a federally recognized Native American tribe and sovereign nation, protect the irreplaceable resources within this sacred place.

As climbers, we acknowledge the immense privilege it is to engage with this land. We ask that you approach your time here with humility and gratitude, recognizing the deep heritage and spiritual significance it holds for the Native American tribes who have called it home for countless generations. Please travel lightly and respectfully, honoring the privilege of being guests on this sacred land. - Nicole Roque, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department

At this year’s Rodeo, we’re doubling down on the aspects that make this event so special: hardcore competition, and convening the many stakeholders of this beautiful landscape. There will be plenty of time to celebrate—but we’re convinced that what makes this event special is the unique blend of try-hard and thoughtful conversations that we can engage in as a community.
