What to Expect:
Dyno Competition
Join our dyno competition open to all levels, from first timers to advanced climbers. Short for “dynamic move,” the dyno competition involves leaping from one climbing hold to another in a single, explosive motion. This competition will test your strength, agility, and coordination. Climb as little as 1 hour or the full 5, no minimum required.
Costume Contest & Mini Games
We’ll be hosting a costume contest, so make sure you arrive dressed to impress! Show off your creativity and stand a chance to win fantastic prizes.
Strength & Conditioning Testing
Test your climbing power with quick strength challenges designed for climbers. From grip hangs to pull-ups, see how your conditioning holds up. It’s a playful way to measure your strength and cheer on others.
Pricing
Members can join the fun for free. For non-members, regular drop-in rates apply. Registration opens through Mind Body Online beginning October 1st at 8pm. Registration on-site is also available. A 10-minute orientation is required for newcomers. Shoes and harnesses are included in the registration fee.
Ghosts & Grips promises a fun evening filled with climbing, community, and Halloween spirit. So, whether you’re scaling the walls like a fearless vampire or want to enjoy the atmosphere, be sure to join us on October 18 at the Richmond Olympic Oval for a night of festive fun.
