Reach After Dark (R.A.D.)
Reach After Dark (R.A.D.) is our hottest annual event — and you do not want to miss it. We shut off the lights, fire up the black lights, and transform the gym into a glow-in-the-dark climbing party like no other. With bumping music, neon holds, glowing tape lines, and high-energy vibes, it’s a night of sending, dancing, and straight-up celebration. Whether you’re here to crush problems or just light up the wall in your wildest gear, R.A.D. is where the climbing community comes alive. Come get weird, get bright, and get stoked — it’s the most electrifying night of the year.

Why It’s Special
R.A.D. is not your typical gym session. It’s a celebration of climbing, community, and chaos-in-the-best-way — all wrapped in lights and loud beats. It only happens once a year, and it’s one of the most talked-about nights at Reach.
The Concept
Reach After Dark is our annual black light climbing party — a one-night-only event where we turn down the lights, crank the music, and turn up the glow. It’s all about high-energy climbing, community, and fun in a completely transformed space.
