Admission To ASCEND Passes, Memberships, and Rental Gear
Try ASCEND With
Passes
A Day Pass at ASCEND includes unlimited climbing, use of our fitness equipment, and one class - yoga or fitness - which is obviously pretty awesome. Punch Passes are bundled Day Passes, which never expire and can be shared with guests of yours. Rental equipment is not included, except for shoes on your first visit.
If you are bringing a group of 5 or more kids, you must make a reservation, as ASCEND Coaches need to be present in many instances.

*A Household EFT Membership is a great way to save a little and get a lot! Household memberships are a one-size-fits-all membership, where pricing is based on head-count rather than age or discount status, and where one person will serve as the responsible billing party. We do not require proof of household status. At this time Household EFT Memberships must be started at the front desk and cannot be done online.
*In addition to the standard membership benefits, ASCEND members may also take advantage of some really incredible perks. We will announce the perk each month on social media and post information at our front desks. You can become a member at anytime during the month to take advantage of the perk! Perks could include, but are definitely not limited to: Retail discounts, Guest passes (not just new visitors), FREE stuff (like chalk, food, or swag), Member referral incentives, Custom merchandise opportunities, Resole discount.

Pricing Information
ASCEND is happy to offer a discount on most admission and memberships to the following groups: teachers, health care workers, first responders (EMT, fire, military, law enforcement, etc.), ECP, AMRG, AMGA, PCGI, AAC, Access Fund + SWPACC, Venture Outdoors, Bike PGH, AmeriCorps, and National Ski Patrol. Discount will be applied once proof of affiliation has been shown to a staff member in-store at ASCEND and cannot be retroactively applied to dues already billed to your account. Discounts DO NOT apply to prorated EFT dues! Periodic proof of eligibility for a discounted membership and other discounts will be required, and requested via email only. Failure to provide proof of discount eligibility will result in non-discount dues and rates being assessed. This is not considered an increase in dues and does not require 60 days written notice, although reasonable notice will be given.
Senior = 60+ | Student = under 17 or college

Gift cards make great gifts!
How do auto-renewing (EFT) memberships work? Dues are automatically deducted from your checking account or billed to your credit card each month. Dues, no more than one month at a time and no more than one month in advance, can be prepaid cash, credit, or gift card, but at the non-EFT membership rate. For an auto-renewing membership to be cancelled or frozen, you must inform us at least 1 day prior (24 hours or more) to the next billing date (we bill on the 1st of each month).
Lock in your membership rate! As long as you don't cancel your membership, your rate will never change! To assist with this, you may now place your membership on hold for only $10 per month ($20 for Household Memberships), for as many months as you'd like.
May I place my membership on hold? Absolutely - ASCEND allows EFT Members to freeze their memberships for only $10 per month ($20 for Household Memberships). Freezes must start on the first day of the month and thaws occur on the last day of a month. To freeze your membership, you must submit this form at least 1 day prior (24 hours or more) to the freeze date to ensure that you will not be billed for the next month. You must also indicate a thaw date, which is the date on which you want EFT billing to restart. Upon restarting a frozen membership, the membership will continue through at least the end of the next month following that date. It then continues indefinitely until cancelled or changed.
