Figure 8 Fridays

Meet us down in the top rope area by the benches at 7:00 pm and we'll climb ‘til they close! **Lead and top rope now available** We'll give each other belays, comradery, and encouragement. Join us! Feel free to trickle in late or leave early if needed. You must be able to pass the gym’s top rope belay or lead test (free)/have a Touchstone belay card before belaying on top rope or lead climbing, respectively. **What does Figure 8 mean?** “Figure 8” refers to the double figure 8 knot that is universally beloved and used by climbers because of its simplicity and inability to fail. **First time to Cliffs of Id?** Get more info [here.](https://touchstoneclimbing.com/cliffs-of-id/first-timers/)


**Note to anyone who might be nervous about attending this event:** Climbing is a personal journey between you and the wall. Your climbing skills will not be judged.

We are a safe environment for all! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me via the in-app messenger at any time before, during, or after the event if you'd like to discuss any questions or concerns you may have about attending this event or about climbing in general. **Beginners**: If you've never climbed or belayed, please take the [Intro to Climbing class ](https://touchstone.rphq.com/cliffs/n/intro-classes)before attending this Meetup. The cost is $45, or free for Touchstone members. If you take the class same-day as our Friday meetup, your day pass is included.

GYM LOCATION
Cliffs of Id
2537 South Fairfax Avenue, Culver City, CA 90232
(424) 543-3820 PARKING Limited free parking is available in front of the gym in its own lot but fills up quickly. A bigger lot (also free) is directly across the street on Fairfax, and there is metered and free street parking around the block. Please be aware if tandem parking, you will have to sign a log and be ready to move your car on notice. I recommend entering the gym lot from Fairfax, if there’s no parking go through it and turn right on Hines to look for street parking. Continue on and turn right on Washington. Still no luck? Go through the intersection and turn right onto Genesse to access the big lot, then walk to cross the street to the gym at Adams. Once you get checked in turn left and go down the stairs. Look for the Meetup Figure 8 Fridays group flag! Hope this helps and I’m looking forward to climbing with you! —Sheila

Six months later they're building with someone who moves at a different frequency,and friction shows up where they needed momentum. This night was built to change that. On August 24th,Mamba Day,we're gathering LA's builders around one man's standard. Not to network. To become. A celebration of Kobe Bryant and excellence in business, on the day that carries both his numbers. Before you arrive, we get to know how you build,not just what you've built. A short founder profile maps how you make decisions, your ninety-day milestone, and your exact bottleneck. Then we curate the room around you.
