I assume you mean Ascend Southside? I’m seldom there anymore. It’s out of the way for me, and the bouldering isn’t that great. But next time I go I’ll shoot you a DM.

You’re looking at roughly $70 for any gym around here, plus or minus a bit depending on sales. Ascend was running a year for $770, which got you a free month. I think that’s over. ICB is $68, with discounts for students. All come with unlimited climbing, access to their fitness centers, and usually discounts on classes. Yoga is usually free for members.
Bouldering is usually the easiest way to start. You can rent shoes and buy a day pass without having to commit to a month. That’s around $25. I recommend ICB for bouldering, it’s definitely the best route setting and it’s big enough to not feel crowded.

I might be down. I boulder a lot at ICB, and I also hit up Ascend PB once a week or so for roped climbing. Where do you climb? At the least, I can probably introduce you to some people.

There’s that Baader–Meinhof. I learned about this guy earlier today while watching an F1 meme video.

Reply to comment by RobtheNavigator in TIL that when Unsolved Mysteries aired a segment on missing child Nyleen Marshall, they were contacted by a man who thought he might have gone to school with Nyleen. This turned out not to be Nyleen, but a different missing child, Monica Bonilla, who had been abducted by her noncustodial parent. by TychaBrahe
“It’s no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.” Mark Twain. Or maybe Tom Clancy.

I used to tell people I lived “right behind Gullifty’s”. Gullifty’s closed right around when I moved to Pittsburgh, and long before I lived in Squirrel Hill.

Reply to comment by yawaworhtatodt in TIL of the Schön scandal, concerning physicist Jan Hendrik Schön, who rose to prominence after a series of breakthroughs with semiconductors that made him in contention for the Nobel prize. It was later discovered that all his research was completely fraudulent. by AmiroZ
This guy is the Jon Bois of science YouTube. Absolutely great content. I just got done with his latest video a few minutes ago - it’s about another scientific fraud.

Yeah, that’s the norm. Punch passes are a good deal if you’re going infrequently, but a membership becomes worth it pretty fast.
