Lead & Top Rope @ First Ascent Avondale! at First Ascent Avondale in Chicago, IL on Friday, June 12, 2026.
We’re meeting up at First Ascent Avondale to do some rope climbing and hang out for a couple of hours. Depending on your certifications, you can choose between lead and top rope climbing. If you’re leading, both you and your partner need to be lead certified. If you are new to attending these meetups, please feel free to list your belay certifications so we can gauge how everyone climbs that day. Hope to see you there! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Quick notes: * We’re not affiliated with the gym. You’ll need to pay for a day pass or use your membership, and make sure you’ve got the right gear (climbing shoes and a harness). * If it’s your first time, come early—they’ll run you through a quick safety orientation. * Be cool. We have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment or bad vibes. * Climbing does come with some risk. When done safely, it’s an awesome sport and a great way to meet people—but always put safety first.
