Setters bolt all weekend; the new problems go live Tuesday at noon. Once per cycle we open the floor Monday evening — watch the setting in person, ask for beta, and try problems before the rest of the gym sees them.
One curated meet-up per month: partner-find, women-on-walls, 50+ climbers, queer climbers night. Built around a coach-led half-hour at the start, then open climbing. Beer + pretzels.
One outdoor weekend a quarter, voted on by members. Linville, Pilot, the Red, Looking Glass. We provide rope + draws + group lodging; you bring your own shoes and your own snacks.
You don't need to register for most of these — comps yes, outdoor weekends yes, everything else just walk in. Members get every monthly comp, every meet-up, and the women-on-walls morning at no cost. Day-pass climbers welcome at all of it; comp entry is $30.
The May 30 monthly is filling. If you're a member, comp entry is automatic — just show up. Day-pass climbers, reserve a slot below; we cap at 120 to keep the wait reasonable.
