History
Climbers in Chicago have needed a gym like this for years. First Ascent gathered a premier team of Chicago-based developers, architects, and lenders who believe, just as we do, in the continued growth of our city. This is our town, and we're proud that First Ascent was created by Chicago, for Chicago. Thanks to all of you who made First Ascent possible!
