Happy CREWsday! William has been with us for two years (and one month!) and is always a smiling face when you visit ASCEND South Side. His climbing hold of choice may not be everyone's favorite, but he sends a good message by saying to root for the underdog!
Happy Member Monday! We caught up with Madison between some climbs with pals and learned a new favorite name for a climbing hold... Thanks for chatting with us, Madison!

This could be you THIS SATURDAY! 😍 Finally, the weather is cooperating for an ASCEND outdoor trip. 😎
Green and Blue tag holders, join us at Coopers Rock, WV for our first trip of the year! Visit ascendclimbing.com/getoutside and see below to learn more and register.
📣 TRIP 2: 'Outdoor Top-Rope Fundamentals - Take Your Indoor Skills Outside' is an educational course for climbers looking to transition from the gym to the world of outdoor rope climbing. This trip focuses on the fundamental differences between indoor and outdoor environments, emphasizing safety protocols and basic technical skills.
📣 This trip is best for climbers who are comfortable belaying indoors and want to learn the technical basics of outdoor top-rope climbing. Lead climbing and anchor building won’t be covered, so this is more about exposure and learning how indoor skills and systems transfer when climbing outside.
📣 What to Expect:
👉 A focus on education on how to approach being self-sufficient climbing outdoors.
👉 Practice of outdoor-specific safety and crag etiquette.
👉 In-depth look at gear, knots, and communication.
👉 Instruction on rappelling.
ASCEND's camps are designed to grow strong minds and bodies in our region's youth. Caring, experienced ASCEND counselors will guide children through fun and developmentally appropriate activities, such as bouldering, top-rope climbing, yoga, slacklining, and more! Registration is open now - register before June 1st for our best pricing! Visit ascendclimbing.com/programs/youth/camps for details
