What Events and Programs Does Planet Rock Climbing Gyms Offer?

Updated

Planet Rock Climbing Gyms offers more than open climbing: its calendar covers wall closures, early hours, sales and promotions, events and meetups, shoe demos, and class-specific schedules. To find what's running during your visit, check the gym's calendar and the class-specific schedule, and note that the schedule is subject to change. The gym also lists three Michigan locations — Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, and Madison Heights — with phone numbers for questions.

What the Calendar Covers

The calendar is the main hub for what's happening at Planet Rock Gym. According to the site, it includes:

  • Wall closures — check before traveling if a specific wall or area matters to your session.
  • Early hours — useful if you want to climb before standard opening.
  • Sales and promotions — membership or retail offers may appear here.
  • Events and meetups — social climbing and group gatherings.
  • Shoe demos and more — chances to try climbing shoes.

Because the schedule is subject to change, treat the calendar as the current source rather than a fixed weekly pattern.

Class-Specific Schedules

Beyond general events, Planet Rock points visitors to class-specific schedules "for more of our daily offerings." If you're interested in a class rather than open climbing, start with that schedule instead of the general calendar — it reflects the daily class lineup.
