We will operate as a Member’s Only Facility, to limit the amount of users during the Coronavirus Pandemic. No day or punch passes will be available at this time. Memberships are available today and won’t get charged until June 1st. We need around 40 members to keep this place open and running. We are stoked to share our new space with you. Please email or call or message us on social media, if you would like to see the facility before purchasing a membership. Cheers!
A message from the Access Fund:
We all must do our part to protect public health and prevent the spread of COVID-19. All indications are that we are in this for the long haul. While we're still safer at home, we've pulled together some tips to follow if you do plan to go out and climb. And while you're getting that gear dusted off, check out and sign The Climber's Pact. More than ever, it's the way to show up as we navigate this pandemic.
In accordance with guidance from the White House, CDC, state and local public health authorities, the Department of the Interior and the National Park Service are working to gradually resume operations and access to national parks in a safe manner. The National Park Service will continue to work with state and local officials as these changes are implemented.
By now, most of us are isolated at home due to the coronavirus pandemic. Rock gyms are closed, national and state parks closed, and restrictions on non-essential travel in place. Not to mention the whole social-distancing thing, which doesn't work well when we flood the local crags. Training at home is the new norm, for now. I’ve found these videos & articles, have helped me re-focus my hang work outs. Enjoy!
