How to get here: we are located in the Chicago Loop at Block 37 (108 N State St., Chicago) on the 4th floor. Enter any of the Block 37 entrances and take the elevator to the 4th floor, then exit right to find First Ascent Block 37. (click here for directions via Google Maps). You can get here easily via public transit, bike, or car as follows:
- BLUE/RED LINE TRAINS: Take the Blue Line to Washington or the Red Line to Lake and follow signs to the CTA Pedway that connects the Blue and Red Lines. You can enter Block 37 via the Pedway – without having to exit the building!
- BY BUS: Take the 56 Bus from the west and exit at Washington & State. Take the 29 Bus from the north or south and exit at State & Randolph.
- BY BIKE: Washington and Dearborn streets feature protected bike lanes. We offer plenty of bike parking inside the gym – just bring your bike up the elevator with you.
- BY CAR: using SpotHero is your best bet for finding the best parking rates in the area. Paid parking is also available on the lower level of Block 37. Please check the Block 37 website for current parking rates.
What to wear: We recommend wearing comfortable athletic clothing that allows you to move freely. Pants or long shorts that cover your knees are best. If you will be renting climbing shoes, we also recommend wearing socks.
What to expect: When you arrive, our friendly staff will get you checked in and geared up, then walk you through a facility and safety orientation, which typically takes 15 minutes. We appreciate your patience – this orientation is required, and it’s the best way for us to make sure you know where everything is and how to manage risk effectively while at First Ascent.
