Climbing + ice cream + blood drive

Want to get out climbing? Not already climbing with SoR? We're going (gym) climbing! And if you stick around long enough, we’re having a mini workout recovery ice cream party. And! There’s a blood drive going on while we’re climbing, so you can give blood at the end of your session (if that’s the sort of thing you’re into)!

Is there a target audience?

Anyone who wants to go gym climbing! If you've never put hands on a wall, been climbing for decades, or are somewhere in between, we'd be glad to have you come climb!

When?

Saturday June 8th! We'll be there 10am to 2pm-ish.

Transportation

The gym is at 74 Acton street, Watertown, MA. If you take public transit, bus 70 leaves from between Kendall and Central and runs within two blocks of the gym.

Suppose you're feeling generous and want to help people drive to the gym? In that case, we have a rideshare and guest pass document. Friendly drivers can put down their starting location or a general pickup location, and hopefully help a few people to and from the gym!

Cost

The cost will be $24 for day passes and gear for non-members. If you have never been to a CRG gym before, gym members may be able to get you in for less than the $24 group rate. If you have a guest pass and are willing to use it for this trip, please reflect that in the rideshare and guest pass document.

Trip prerequisites

In order to streamline getting a group rate from the gym, we have a form for you to fill out. Please watch the safety videos and fill out waivers ahead of time if you haven't already! Their front desk is often understaffed, so the more we can take care of at home, the easier it is on staff, and faster for us.

Ice Cream?

There will be a little mini ice cream party after climbing, around 1:30-2:00! If you eat ice cream/sorbet, what kind of flavors would you like to see? (no promises, but you might get lucky)

What is this about blood?! Community Service??

The gym is running a blood drive during our climbing session. If you want to support the greater Boston community, consider giving blood at the end of your session.

The gym won’t allow anyone to continue climbing for the rest of the day after giving blood, but has agreed to give free paper day passes to anyone who signs up to give blood.
