2025 Hello COS: Belays & Bites @ Gripstone Climbing & Fitness

Description

Gripstone Climbing & Fitness brings 14,000 square feet of climbing walls built for every skill level — whether you’re a total newbie or a seasoned pro. Crush bouldering problems, tackle towering top rope routes, or just vibe with friends while testing your grip strength. It’s the perfect hangout for a casual climb or a full-on vertical challenge. We'll also check out a local eatery for lunch featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
