ASCEND is the proud operator of two facilities, ASCEND Pittsburgh and ASCEND Youngstown!

ASCEND Pittsburgh is a bouldering-centric climbing gym featuring Walltopia climbing walls surrounded by Flashed flooring, all housed within an expansive second floor space with a panoramic view of the city from Pittsburgh’s Southside. Beyond bouldering, ASCEND offers roped climbing on a 24-foot-tall wall featuring 20 climbing stations with a mix of auto-belays and top-ropes. Cross-training is also a big part of ASCEND, so be sure to explore climbing-specific training and fitness equipment or drop in on one of our yoga or fitness classes. In addition to climbing, fitness, and yoga, visitors can also enjoy use of child watch services, concessions, locker rooms with showers, and numerous spaces to relax, study, or work.

ASCEND Youngstown, formerly known as Transcend Bouldering Lounge until brought into the ASCEND Climbing family on November 5, 2019 features bouldering with limited fitness equipment. Soon, we’ll be adding more equipment, and fitness and yoga classes, as well as adult and youth programming. Keep your eyes peeled for more!
