Lab Ops on Plastic Rocks: a Meet-Up for the San Diego Life Science community
Ever wanted to try climbing but haven't had anyone "show you the ropes"? (And yes, we know bouldering technically doesn't use ropes). Or maybe you’re already a seasoned climber looking to meet a few more peers in the local San Diego Lab Ops community?
Either way, you’re invited!
Join the Quartzy team and a small community of local peers for an evening of low-pressure climbing, problem-solving, and unwinding right in the Sorrento Valley biotech corridor. Lab ops is all about figuring out complex puzzles... which is exactly what bouldering is, just with a bit more chalk and fewer spreadsheets.
🗓️ The Agenda:
5:30 PM | Arrival & Gear Up.
5:45 PM | Bouldering & Hanging Out
7:00 PM | Post-Climb Dinner & Craft Drinks at Gravity Heights (just a 3-minute drive down Pacific Heights Blvd!)
Gym day pass, gear rentals, wood-fired pizzas, and drinks are all on us!
🧗 Who Is This For?
All experience and fitness levels welcome! Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned climber, this night is entirely about getting our local San Diego Lab Ops, Facilities, and Supply Chain community together to connect, swap stories, and unwind outside the lab.
🎒 What should I bring?
Just bring yourself and wear comfortable athletic clothes. We'll take care of the climbing passes, shoe rentals, and the food/drinks afterward.
Please note: This is space is strictly limited to keep the group tight-knit and conversational so registration is pending approval. If this first go goes well, we will continue to host other events!
Quartzy is a Lab Ops platform streamlining inventory and procurement to accelerate research. We’re passionate about creating space and bringing recognition to the behind-the-scenes champions who keep labs running smoothly every day.
