Crux Climbing Center, a fitness center located at 121 Pickle Road, Ste. 100, Austin, began the first phase of a 6,000-square-foot expansion project, which includes the complete renovation of a former Beverage Barn location nearby, in early December.

The updated facility, featuring saunas, a bottle shop, additional parking and an outdoor area for community workouts and events, will open early this year.
