CRUX LGBTQ Climbing - Cap Region 1st Sundays

Join us for our bi-monthly Capital Region CRUX events at The Edge Half Moon!

All experience levels, bodies, and abilities welcome (pro tip: you don’t have to be “strong” to climb)! If it's your first time, don't worry - we'll help you climb your first walls, and there are routes set for all levels.

If you’re new and want us to keep an eye out for you, email Lyndon.Cudlitz@ClimbCRUX.org

Venue: The Edge Halfmoon

Currently, The Edge asks you to book your spot here. You can also save yourself some time by filling out the gym waiver online before arrival.

When you check in at the front desk, let them know if (1) you need rentals, (2) you have never belayed before or (3) you need a belay refresher from their staff.

Come with climbing partners, or let us help you connect with others. If you're having trouble locating us, just ask the desk to point us out!

Accessibility

Belay lesson and climbing on 1st floor, with a short step up to the climbing area mat. Some individuals in the group are adaptive climbers or have experience climbing with people with physical disabilities. However the gym has not yet made significant investments in adaptive equipment, such as a seated climbing rig. If you have questions about what is available and how we can best support your needs, please reach out.
