FirstHand Climbing is a bouldering gym in downtown Winston-Salem

We appreciate Winston's reputation as the City of Arts and Innovation: with over 2000 Square feet of climbing surface, you can explore the creativity our route setters bring to the plywood canvas. Every route (or problem, in bouldering lingo) is designed to push your strength and flex your mind.

Today, we say a sad goodbye, but also a big congratulations to Lili and Kevin!

If (somehow) you haven’t met them, you’re missing out on great company. They’ve both been setting for us for many years, and are true staples of our community. You might’ve seen Lili running around with our Kids Teams or making silly videos for the ‘gram, and you might’ve chatted with Kevin on a Better Beta Bureau night or seen him sending a real hard route in the cave.

However you might’ve known them, you probably love them, as we all do!

They’re venturing off to Connecticut today for some cool, cool stuff, and while we’ll miss them deeply, we’ll also cheer them on in their new adventure.

We love guys! Come back and visit us sometime. 💙

Our kids need support! This year, we’re doing it a little different:

Pick any unnamed route in the gym, come up with a catchy title, and donate $5 or more to help grow our scholarship fund to see your name and route title on our walls!
At the end of summer, we’ll take a vote on our favorites! Prizes for the winners!
