Approach, Nebraska’s first full-service climbing gym, recently held a ribbon cutting in partnership with the Greater Omaha Chamber on August 28 to kick off its 3-day Grand Opening celebration. Locally owned and family operated, Approach endeavors to create a socially engaging space while facilitating in the development of healthy minds, bodies, and relationships. A free social gathering followed the ribbon cutting featuring a drum circle, vendor fair, food truck, meet and greet with pro climber Timy Fairfield, and a raffle fundraiser benefitting local non-profits NorthStar Foundation, Girls Inc. and Youth Emergency Services (Y.E.S.).
Located at 72nd & L St in Omaha, the 12,000-square-foot indoor facility provides climbing for beginners to experts from ages 2 and up. Approach hired top professional climbing wall designers and manufacturers, Futurist and Walltopia, to bring nothing short of the best in the world to Omaha. Amenities include over 6,000 square foot of climbing surface in three separate and distinct areas: top-rope climbing, bouldering, and a dedicated Kids Climbing Room. Climbing is inherently dangerous, so Approach will teach all users to use appropriate gear and techniques to enable smart climbing, explore personal boundaries, encourage communication in corporate team building activities, and provide a new outlet for birthday parties for all ages, special events, and clinics.
