AYM Climb Night at Movement (aka Planet Granite)

Hey everyone, we're brining back AYM Climb Night (yay!!!!!!!!!)!!!

Climb Night is open to everyone (Mazama members and non-members), regardless of age or climbing ability. You'll be required to be belayed certified if you plan on rope climbing (please note that most people who who come to climb night have been top roping or lead climbing a couple of times). We'll meet at 6:00pm in the retail entrance area of Movement (by the benches!); we'll do a quick round of introductions and pair off belay partners. There will also be the option for some post-climb drinks/food at nearby bar if people are interested (totally optional)! If you cannot meet us at 6:00, just come look for us around the gym (I look like my profile pic sans doggo)

Parking Tips:<br> --Car parking can be tricky (especially if you're looking for non-metered parking), but it is available!<br> --Bike parking is available in front of the building, as well as on the north side of the building

What to Bring:<br> --Membership card or money for day pass<br> --Harness & climbing shoes (rentals available)<br> --Belay device and rope if lead climbing (must be certified)<br> --MASK --- please follow proper COVID guidelines!!!! Do not come if you're feeling sick

Hosts:<br> --Heather

Movement Fine Print Info<br> --Rules (https://movementgyms.com/portland/).<br> --For Newbies<br> --Waiver (you'll need to sign if you've never been; you can fill it out online!) https://movementgyms.com/waiver/)<br> --Getting belay certified: If you already know how to belay but need to get certified at Movement, plan on arriving before 6pm and ask a staff member to take the test.

While AYM leaders can give climbing tips, this event is NOT where you learn to climb. You can take introductory lessons from local gyms or learn to climb in Mazamas Basic Climbing Education Program in the spring.
