Our Route Setters were hard at work this past weekend putting up a TON of new routes all throughout the gym! 🔥🧗
Have you had a chance to check them out yet? We can’t wait to see you climb them, project them, and maybe even send a few! 💪
We’ve also added a few new faces to our Route Setting Team — please help us give them a warm welcome! 👏 With new setters comes new creativity, so you may notice some fresh styles, movements, and challenges on the walls.
Come climb with us and let us know your favorite new routes! 🙌
