Well it’s finally happening, a climbing gym is opening in birmingham. So what’s it all about? Well, there will be a lot of things going on at first avenue rocks. Like what? Local artist expo’s, climbing video premieres, competitions, yoga… You get the idea, now, back to the business at hand. After all, we are a climbing gym first and foremost.
What will we have in the way of climbing? Four separate bouldering structures featuring plenty of varied terrain including top-out boulders. We will have an extensive training section complete with a MOON board, HIT strips, system tiles, hang boards and campus rungs. Even though first avenue rocks will primarily focus on bouldering we will also have a top rope wall. Throw in some weight and fitness equipment, a pro shop, and lounge area with free WiFi and that just about covers it.
So when are we opening? Sooner than you might think. Our projected opening is may of 2009. Trust me, we want this place open as bad as every one of you.
What can you do to help? Sign up for a membership. What do you get for signing up before the gym opens? How about some free stuff? The first 5 members will get a free limited edition barcode hoodie. The first 100 members will get the limited edition barcode t-shirt that you’ve seen around town. If you don’t make the first 100, no worries, EVERYONE who signs up before the gym opens will have their startup fee waived.
