Shane gets first crack at the wall
SBK<3BKB
Last Friday, we were invited to one of the First Ascent parties by Brooklyn Boulders owner, Stephen Spaeth. The parties are their way of thanking members who purchased year-long memberships prior to the facility opening by giving them first access to areas of the gym as they finish. Even with only one top-roping wall and the bouldering area open for climbing we had an absolute blast and climbed for hours. The staff and volunteers on hand were super helpful and friendly and the place is just downright BANANAS. It's like Disney World opening up down the street from you. Please check these guys out, I can foresee countless SBK outings to BKB!

ShawnS says
asked this yesterday–no response 🙁
So did anyone sign up for the 1st ascent thing for $595 at Brooklyn Boulders?
Or is anyone thinking about it?
I think the deal ends this week.Will CFSBK be able to work something out with them to get a good rate anyways?
Hooray to Linus!
ShawnS says
Grant, hope you arent posting while driving!
Sameer Parekh says
i decided to sign up today. $50/month seems like a good deal.
hopefully they won’t suck. the climbing gym back in berkeley set a high standard for me. no gym has since come close.
fingers crossed.
Grant says
This is rad too – Margie on the mainsite!http://www.crossfit.com/mt-archive2/004838.html
You look glorious, Margie
Shane says
Shawn,
We’re working with Steve on putting something together for BB members and SBK members but we don’t know yet what that will entail. So if you’re thinking about the FA package and want to get in before the deadline I wouldn’t wait for us.
Sameer, I can’t compare the two obviously but I’m really impressed w/ what they’ve got going on at BKB especially since they’ll be changing routes up so often the place will stay fresh. My biggest worry is going to be crowds with how much press coverage they’re getting at the moment.
Margie hits the big time!! Let’s show Margie some love on the comments of the main page.
I miss Grant already 🙁

Just got back from BKB. Awesome group of people they have there. Met some really friendly staff and all the members I talked to were really friendly as well. Hit one really easy route and one really hard route. I think the wod at gotham tomorrow morning is gonna be brutal so I didn’t push it. mostly just drank beer and talked to people.
Talked up CFSBK quite a bit =) hopefully we’ll get some people showing up this saturday…
