Gym Reservations: Participants may climb anytime the gym is open within the challenge dates but must check into the gym with a walk-in or booked reservation. Reservations are not required, but it is highly encouraged during weekday evenings as the gym is busier at these times and may hit COVID occupancy capacity. All participants will need a membership, day pass or punch card to use the facility. Online reservations can be made here.
COVID Rules: All participants must follow Spire’s COVID safety policies here.
