Hey everyone!

Moving forward for 2026, Women on Walls (WoW) will be alternating between 1st Mondays at South Side and 3rd Wednesdays at Point Breeze.

Come join us on Monday August 3, 2026 from 7-9p.m. to meet, hangout, climb, and socialize. Look for the cactus plushie! And follow the Instagram: ascendwow https://www.instagram.com/p/CVVtfINFArr/

A few reminders for first timers:

• Sign the waiver ahead of time and find out more info about Ascend
  https://www.ascendpgh.com/visiting-ascend
• Wear comfortable workout / yoga clothes that allows you to stretch; some surfaces may be scratchy so we recommend longer pants your first time
• Shoes / Harness are available for rent if you don't have your own gear
• There are lockers and cubbies to place your bag, water bottle, etc.
• Feel free to ask any questions! We were all new once so ask away!
• You can sign up online or get a discounted day pass for $18 by mentioning that you are attending the WOW event at the front desk

WOW intends to be an inclusive and safe space where women can climb together, learn from each other, and hang out while meeting new friends!

Hope to see you at a future event!

Come join us for a morning climb! Lauri and Patrick will be leading this meetup for retirees, flex hour workers, or anybody who's available, while we've got the gym more to ourselves. Meet at 10:30 am on Wednesday August 5th to hangout, climb together, and socialize. Look for the OTM sign in table to the right of the door as you enter, right next to the couches. All skill levels are welcome.

A few reminders:
-Always check in at the main Ascend counter first, on your left, as soon as you enter the building.

- If this is your first time visiting Ascend, remember to allow time to sign the waiver and get a tour. You can save some time at the front desk by signing the waiver online ahead of time. More useful information from Ascend is on their web page: https://www.ascendclimbing.com/your-visit/first-visit

- If you are not an Ascend member, you can get a discounted day pass for $18 by mentioning that you are attending the OTM event at the front desk when you sign in. This includes all gear for the day.

OTM ASCEND: For ~40 years and up, all skill levels more than welcome, late arrivals too, just come find us in the canyon on your far right, after signing in at the main desk and the OTM table by the couches. Look for the people with name tags on, we're a friendly welcoming bunch and easy to find.
