CLIMB TIME
CRUX event hosts will be milling about the tall bistro table towards
the center. You should see a large banner and LGBTQIA flags. Hosts
will be wearing yellow or teal CRUX t-shirts, and wearing the
rainbow-colored CRUX nametags on their harnesses.
Climbing from 7:00 – 9:30(ish) PM. Some members climb later and do
workouts/stretches afterwards, so ask around if you're a nightowl!
* Food, drink, socializing after 9:30 PM – After climbing, a group
usually heads to a local restaurant/bar for dinner and chit-chat.
Hosts will spread the word on the post-climb spot, but if you don't
hear just ask a fellow CRUXer or the event host.
We're going to have a ton of fun! See you at The Cliffs at LIC every
Monday!
FAQS
ARE THERE ID OR MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENTS TO ENTER THE EVENT?
No. However, evenings get crowded in the after-work peak and is not
the best time for small children new to a dynamic event space.
