Chalked Up(state) Queer Climbers: 1st Sundays in Clifton Park

Join Chalked Up(state) Queer Climbers for our monthly meetup at The Edge Half Moon! Chalked Up is a program of Crux Climbing, based in NYC.

All experience levels, bodies, and abilities welcome (pro tip: you don’t have to be “strong” to climb)! If it's your first time, don't worry - we'll help you climb your first walls, and there are routes set for all levels.

If you’re new and want us to keep an eye out for you, email [email protected] and/or [email protected]

The Edge asks you to please fill out the gym waiver online before arrival.

When you check in at the front desk, let them know if (1) you need rentals, (2) you have never belayed before or (3) you need a belay refresher from their staff.

We're usually in front of the cubbies for intros and stretches until 4:45p. If you're having trouble locating us, just ask the desk to point us out! Come with climbing partners, or let us help you connect with others.

Belay lesson and climbing on 1st floor, with a short step up to the climbing area mat. Some individuals in the group are adaptive climbers or have experience climbing with people with physical disabilities. However, the gym has not yet made significant investments in adaptive equipment, such as a seated climbing rig. If you have questions about what is available and how we can best support your needs, please reach out.

1st floor gendered, multi-user, wheelchair-accessible restrooms with stalls and semi-open changing areas. The closest known all-gender restroom is 1 mile away at Stewarts.

$20 day pass. $5 rental package.

15-17yo: The gym allows older teens to be unaccompanied by an adult. Please ensure a guardian has signed a gym waiver before or during drop-off. Chalked Up and our volunteers are not responsible for the supervision of minors.

Under 15yo: Adults are welcome to bring kids, and you must be fully responsible for their supervision. The gym sets walls that are "generally for older kids and adults. There are no "Kiddie" specific areas, though we do have equipment to fit them." This gym does not recommend children under 5yo. Please see their FAQs for more info.
