We are out of power in the neighborhood today. A truck one block away from us managed to pull down 4 telephone poles! Consumers says the power will not come back on until 9:00pm, so we must be closed for today. Please come join us Inside Moves when we open at 4pm!

We will be open normal hours Friday and Sunday but closed on Saturday for the 4th. Have a safe holiday, everyone!

Two weeks ago, our setters took the week off from setting to get some inspiration in the great outdoors! Arnold and .buckner.39 clipped bolts in the Red while met up with friends to boulder in Southern Illinois. They all had great weather and not a single complaint! With Festivus happening next weekend (May 16), we will be holding off on setting today to do preparations for our event. The gym will be almost entirely turned over afterwards, so come send your projects now before they’re gone forever!

Save the date! Join us on Saturday May, 16th for Festivus, the annual bouldering comp for the rest of us! As per every Festivus, to celebrate Higher Ground taking another lap around the sun, all proceeds will be donated to a local nonprofit! So come climb some sick new boulders and help support a good local cause! Registration link in bio
