Figure 8 Fridays

Meet us down in the ropes area by the benches at 7:00 pm and we'll climb ‘til they close! 🔥 For Lead and Top Rope 🔥 We'll give each other belays, comradery, and encouragement. Join us! Feel free to trickle in late or leave early if needed, just give me a heads’ up if you’re new so we can keep an eye out for you! You must be able to pass the gym’s top rope belay or lead test (free)/have a Touchstone belay card before belaying on top rope or lead climbing, respectively. What does Figure 8 mean? “Figure 8” refers to the double figure 8 knot that is universally beloved and used by climbers because of its simplicity and inability to fail. First time to Cliffs of Id?

You will not be holding back your belay partner no matter your level of experience. This is a friendly, supportive event that is welcoming to climbers of all skill and experience levels. Whether this is your first time climbing or your 10,000th, you are welcome. We are a safe environment for all! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me (Sheila) via the in-app messenger at any time before, during, or after the event if you'd like to discuss any questions or concerns you may have about attending this event or about climbing in general.
