The Pit can feel intimidating — we get it. That’s why our staff is hanging out down there with you the first Wednesday of every month from 4–8pm. We’ll climb, belay, and help you practice the stuff that can feel nerve-wracking when you’re new to lead: knots, clips, soft catches, and all the little details that make the big picture smoother. If you’ve taken the class and want a little extra practice, this is your time to ask questions, mess up (we all do), and learn together. The Pit is for everyone — a place to grow, build confidence, and feel like part of the crew. Come hang with us.
