See you soon!
There’s a very special climb up at @hyperionclimbing right now!
Last summer Bay Area local @connor.herson put up the first ascent of Drifter’s Escape in Squamish, the world’s first 5.15a trad climb, and therefore hardest trad climb in the world currently!
Last week he worked with our setter CDC to put up a replica of the crux section of the climb at Hyperion. While the replica is easier than the actual climb, he says the movement is remarkably accurate! So if you’re one for ringlocks and terribly blocked holds, get your butt over there and give it a go!

All Touchstone Gyms Closed Friday, 1/30
We stand with the people of Minneapolis and with our employees.
We are closing as part of the national general strike in opposition to ICE and the violence, fear, and harm they continue to inflict on immigrant communities and those who stand with them.
While the gyms are closed, all hourly employees who were scheduled to work will be paid.
We do not make this decision lightly, but we no longer feel it is acceptable to remain silent in the face of these actions.
