They'll be here to answer any questions and will be waiving the pick-up fee for any shoes left with them for repair.

Tomorrow is May 1st so we wanted to remind all of our members that your accounts are still frozen FREE of charge. For those that signed the petition (link in bio) THANK YOU. We will only bill those folks that opted in by signing or contacting us directly. We know a lot has changed so just holler if you’re on the petition but do NOT want to get billed again. We get it. You’re still awesome. Since it’s spring, here’s a throwback to our Toilet Tree from summer 2017 during our build out. Being away from the community sure is crappy, but hey, let’s make the best of what we can with what we got. Miss you all and thanks for the continued support #backintheday #mayflowers #antimega @ GP-81

Climbing has been around for a long time and it’s still gonna be here for years to come. This route got established in 1941 and will still be here waiting while you stay home so things can settle down. We get that a single day off from both climbing and being with your crew can feel like forever. But we’re not going anywhere either and we’re all in this together. Stay safe, stay healthy, and be patient. We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled sessions soon enough. #wort...hthewait #preparetoparty #gunksclimbing #gunksapps From @old_school_climbing Lynn Hill on the hyper classic High Exposure (5.6) first established in 1941. "High E", as it is often called, is known as one of the best routes of it's grade in the world. #oldschoolclimbing

Dear GP family and friends, There are many challenges we expected to face as small business owners and responding to a pandemic was surely not one of them. Given the nature of what we know and do not know about COVID-19 we are temporarily closing GP81 starting at 5pm on Sunday, March 15th. As a proactive step to protect the community we so lovingly welcome, we believe this closure is the best decision we can make at this time. We are closely monitoring the status and impact o...f the coronavirus to determine when we will be able to reopen. We promise to remain transparent and keep you all up to date as things develop. Now for some logistics: - All memberships will be automatically frozen for free for the duration of our closure - Upon reopening membership dues will be prorated to reflect the closure dates - All prepaid memberships will have the duration of the closure added to their end dates - The Greenpoint Redpoint competition is being postponed until further notice - If you have any questions, concerns, or just need to chat - shoot us an email or DM us on Instagram at the addresses listed below. Please be patient and understand we will respond as quickly as we can. Your involvement in this community means the world to us and we want nothing more than to be a place of comfort and safety for everyone. We are incredibly grateful for the trust and support you have put in us since day one and we are doing everything we can to uphold that. We are proud to be paying our staff for as long as we can during the closure and appreciate every dollar we’ve earned to make that possible. Thank you all for being the spirit and soul of GP81. We love you GP. Stay healthy, stay happy, stay well.

To our GP81 family and friends, We love hanging out and climbing with you and want you to know that your health and safety is immensely important to us. We are closely monitoring the developments of the Covid-19 virus to ensure we are staying informed and making the best decisions we can for every member, guest and staff. We are following the precautionary measures recommended by various international, national and local agencies to operate responsibly and keep you climbing. ... Currently, our doors are open and we will remain a sanctuary for your sanity as long as we can do so responsibly. We’ve ramped up our cleaning efforts by sanitizing commonly touched areas, such as door handles, water stations, bathrooms, etc. Outside our climbing holds, we are even sanitizing our sanitizer. Rest assured we are doing everything we can but we are all grabbing the same holds so it’s going to take all of us to best protect our community. Please do your part and consider the following: - Stay home if you feel sick, except to get medical care - Thoroughly wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and warm water - Use hand sanitizer as provided throughout the gym We know social distancing is tough when all we want to do is hang out and climb together. We care deeply about every visit by every visitor and trust our community to make good decisions. While there is a lot to be determined in the upcoming weeks, if you feel like climbing, we’re here for you. Thank you all for your understanding, patience, and support through this whole ordeal. We’re in it together and will handle it like the family we are. Shakas, The GP81 cast and crew Also this: New Yorkers should text COVID to 692-692 to get regular updates on the latest developments regarding the virus.
