🔥Indoor Rock Climbing At The Post, Pasadena🔥

**Hey climbing enthusiasts!** Looking for a fun and adventurous way to spend your Friday night? Join us for an exhilarating indoor rock climbing meetup! Jaden and Marvin will wait near the front desk for attendees to arrive. Please message us if you're going to be late. **What’s Happening:** * A welcoming and inclusive environment for climbers of all skill levels. * Bouldering: Show off those climbing skills or just flail around on the wall – both are equally entertaining. * Top Roping: Heights? Pffft. We laugh in the face of heights! We should have a couple of people certified on Belay including myself. * Wisdom from Wannabe Pros: Get tips from climbers who might know what they're talking about. No guarantees, though. * Social: an opportunity to make new friends who share a passion for climbing. * Dinner afterward is optional for those seeking extra social time. **Day pass is $30 if you're not a member —** but you *might* be able to get $10 off if you say you're climbing with Marvin. **Just give us a heads-up beforehand so one of us can be at the front desk when you arrive. Gotta work the system properly 😎.** **👟 Pack List (or don’t, I’m not the boss of you):** * Comfortable athletic clothing. * Climbing shoes and Harness (or you can rent them at the gym). * Water bottle to stay hydrated. * Your adventurous self (non-negotiable) * Positive vibes and a sense of adventure! **Parking on the lot or streets.** **First Timers: The gym requires your signed waiver.** **[https://touchstoneclimbing.com/waiver/](https://touchstoneclimbing.com/waiver/)** **Here are two tutorial videos:** **[https://youtu.be/Gsbu5ENrCq8?si=kUf8y2ulEN9V18L6](https://youtu.be/Gsbu5ENrCq8?si=kUf8y2ulEN9V18L6)** **[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2v4brHpdxY&ab_channel=BoulderingBobat](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2v4brHpdxY&ab_channel=BoulderingBobat)** **Release of Liability:** The organizer (me) of this event is a volunteer and is not a professional guide. The function of the organizer is only to organize this event. Each person who signs up for this event is 100% responsible for his or her safety and the safety of his or her guests. **Quick Note:** If you’re planning to use Marvin for the day pass discount, just make sure to message Marvin ahead of time — He needs to be at the front desk for it to work!

GYM LOCATION
Cliffs of Id
2537 South Fairfax Avenue, Culver City, CA 90232
(424) 543-3820 PARKING Limited free parking is available in front of the gym in its own lot but fills up quickly. A bigger lot (also free) is directly across the street on Fairfax, and there is metered and free street parking around the block. Please be aware if tandem parking, you will have to sign a log and be ready to move your car on notice. I recommend entering the gym lot from Fairfax, if there’s no parking go through it and turn right on Hines to look for street parking. Continue on and turn right on Washington. Still no luck? Go through the intersection and turn right onto Genesse to access the big lot, then walk to cross the street to the gym at Adams. Once you get checked in turn left and go down the stairs. Look for the Meetup Figure 8 Fridays group flag! Hope this helps and I’m looking forward to climbing with you! —Sheila

Weather ready\. Emergency ready\. \> Stick together on hikes\! Do not walk away from the group\, wait for others\. If you need to use the \(natural\) facilities\, Let someone know before you disappear\. \> In Canyons: DO NOT spread over more than 2 waterfalls\! **THE FINE PRINT** \> This is not a guided trip\!

All participants should have appropriate training and/or sufficient previous experience\. \> You are responsible for your own and your party’s safety\! **W A R N I N G** Rock Climbing, Hiking and other Outdoor Activities ARE INHERENTLY DANGEROUS! Each may result in serious injury or death. Rocks and holds may break or be slippery, fixed protection may fail, and weather may deteriorate, these and other factors, such as rock fall, inadequate or faulty protection, etc., may all increase the level of danger and the chances of an accident. Furthermore, human errors or judgment mistakes may be made as well. Do not participate in any training or activity unless you understands and accepts the risks associated with such activities. If you choose to participate in any training or activity - You do so at your own risk. No one is perfect and no one always does everything perfectly. By participating or allowing your children to participate, you agree that you will not hold any of the volunteer Organizers responsible in any way, shape, or form for anything that happens to you, your children or anyone else. You should always check yourself (and others) and the rope systems before use to the best of your knowledge and ability. **Any failure to follow safety rules and instructions may result in injury or death!** **NO ONE INVOLVED IN PLANNING, FACILITATING OR VOLUNTEERING TO GUIDE ANY TRAINING OR ACTIVITY MAKES ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY REGARDING THE ACCURACY OR RELIABILITY OF THE INFORMATION TAUGHT.**
