**GYM LOCATION** Cliffs of Id
2537 South Fairfax Avenue, Culver City, CA 90232
(424) 543-3820 **PARKING** Limited free parking is available in front of the gym in its own lot but fills up quickly. A bigger lot (also free) is directly across the street on Fairfax, and there is metered and free street parking around the block. Please be aware if tandem parking, you will have to sign a log and be ready to move your car on notice. I recommend entering the gym lot from Fairfax, if there’s no parking go through it and turn right on Hines to look for street parking. Continue on and turn right on Washington. Still no luck? Go through the intersection and turn right onto Genesse to access the big lot, then walk to cross the street to the gym at Adams. Once you get checked in, turn left and go down the stairs. Look for the Meetup Figure 8 Fridays group flag! Hope this helps and I’m looking forward to climbing with you! —Sheila
