The Cliffs Climbing + Fitness is throwing a grand opening party on Saturday for its newest location, The Cliffs at Callowhill.

A 40,000-square-foot warehouse at 1010 Callowhill St. has been transformed into an indoor rock climbing facility with top rope, lead and crack climbing routes, boulder problems and an Olympic training speed climbing wall. There's also a private yoga room and a full-scale fitness center.

There will be face painting, food trucks and climbing games, too. Then later in the night, starting at 10 p.m., there will be a DJ, circus performers and free beer.

The facility is open to members and guests during weekdays from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., Saturdays 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
