Friday Night Onsight returned to Reach Indoor Climbing on October 2. It is a mock comp in a friendly room: try new climbs, climb with the community and maybe win a raffle prize. If you have never competed, staff go over the rules before you start.

The comp started at 6:00 pm, for $10 for members or $15 plus a day pass for non-members. On October 3 the gym also held a separate youth mock comp for all youth categories, to get some practice in before the season starts.
