5:04 PM May 20, 2013

"You could've sent it if you'd backstepped, and locking-off on that Gaston really helps give you the reach to get to that next sidepull." Yes folks, this is climbing speak. If you'd like to learn what it means, or learn more, we'd love it if you signed up for our Fundamentals of Technique (FoT) class! It starts tonight at 6pm and will last 2-3 hours, and it costs only $45. Give us a call here at the gym when you've decided to step up your game.

Show some love to Friends of Muir Valley for the three vault toilets being constructed in Muir Valley! Shout-outs to FOMV, The American Alpine Club, Access Fund, Bone Dry Masonry, and all who contributed to this great addition to a beloved climbing area.

"Ask not what your climbing gym can do for you, but what you can do for your climbing gym."

A great man said that. I think it was Sharma.

Anyway. We are looking for some good folks to help volunteer at the upcoming USA Climbing Ohio River Valley Regional Championships.

Volunteers needed for the day of include experienced belayers for top rope, speed, and lead climbing. Also needed are ISO supervisors, judges, and scorecard runners.

We'll also be looking for help stripping and cleaning holds starting this SUNDAY May 2nd, in the evening.

If you're interested in volunteering, you can shoot us a message on this page, stop by the front desk, or email Phil Carr at runpmc@ymail.com

Thanks in advance, your help is so valuable and so important.
