CRUX LGBTQ Climbing - 2nd and 4th Tuesdays @Movement Harlem

This event is geared towards people who have never climbed before, haven't climbed in a long time, and experienced climbers who like to help others have a great first or return experience.

You will need to fill out the gym's for your first visit. Do so ahead of time here: https://thecliffsclimbing.com/participantagreement.

When you arrive at the front desk, let the staff know that you are here for the CRUX event and whether you need rental gear. They will point you to the CRUX hosts.

Upon entering the building stairs and an elevator are available. All climbing areas are on the same floor. The cardio cycling mezzanine is only accessible by stairs. There are other cardio bikes on the main level.

There are gendered locker rooms with restrooms on the right side. There is a universal changing room in the front by the check-in desk, and a universal, non-gendered WC and changing room near the cardio mezzanine. You are welcome to use the locker room and restroom of your choosing. Bring-your-own lock lockers are available in both the lockerrooms and in the weights area on the left side. Cubbyholes for stashing non-valuables are throughout the climbing areas.

NON-MOVEMENT-MEMBERS: $15 for a day pass which includes rental gear (shoes and harness). You will pay this directly to Movement when you check in at the front desk.

If cost presents a barrier for participation, please allow us to assist: https://forms.gle/DdtKkWi3gWHZsY1R9

MOVEMENT MEMBERS: Just scan and enter. There is no additional cost for attending our events. If you have an guest pass you won't be using that month, consider donating it to a non-member.

CRUX event hosts will be milling about in the front. You will see LGBTQIA flags on a table there or in the main climbing section. Hosts will be wearing yellow or teal CRUX t-shirts, and wearing the rainbow-colored CRUX nametags on their harnesses. Please introduce yourself and pop on a nametag so other CRUXers will know you're part of the group.

Climbing from 7:00 – 9:00(ish) PM. Some members climb later and do workouts/stretches afterwards, so ask around if you're a nightowl!

Food, drink, socializing after 9:00 PM – After climbing, a group usually heads to a local restaurant/bar for dinner and chit-chat. Hosts will spread the word on the post-climb spot, but if you don't hear just ask a fellow CRUXer or the event host.
