BRIDGES at Fourth and Auction will have a rock-climbing wall from 6 to 9 PM Thursday, October 30. It will feature 1400 square feet of climbing on a 35-foot wall. The wall was designed by experts and there will be a variety of routes. Cost is $15 for adults, and $10 for those under 18. Under 18 must have a waiver signed by a parent or guardian before they will be allowed to climb. Not many opportunities to rock-climb in Memphis, so if you’re a fan of the sport, come on out.

Trivia tonight at Jillian’s at 7 PM with Mikey and Pete the Trivia Guy.
