🚧 FACILITIES UPDATE 🚧
Coming up this month at ASCEND Point Breeze will be an update to our slackline area! Some things to know:
🔧 updates will begin mid-June and be completed by early July
🔧 updates will consist of rotating our permanent slackline 90°, adding padding to the floor to create a stretching/warmup area, creating a future climbers space along the back wall, and building a small dividing wall to keep our youngest climbers safely inside their designated space
🔧 our couches, bike racks, and other furniture in this area will be moved around while we reconfigure the space
During this time, our slackline will be periodically unavailable while we work on this change. We will do our best to give you notice via our Access Alerts page and our social media stories when the slackline will be down. Our first priority is relocating the slackline to minimize down time.
We’re so excited to bring this new update to ASCEND Point Breeze!
Happy CREWsday, we've collected them all! Charles is our third and final GM to introduce from our gyms! Charles has been with us for over 6 years now (!!!) and loves to jam to just about anything you might play on Rockbot. Be sure to say hi next time you see him!
Happy Member Monday! Scott has been with us for 4 years now and is working on getting back into the v5-7 climbs - an awesome goal! Thanks for chatting with us, Scott!
