AUSTIN (KXAN) -- A lawsuit against Austin's Crux Climbing Gym was dismissed, and the public relations firm for the gym said they will move its location to another area in south Austin, according to a statement from the firm obtained by KXAN.

Back in December, the gym faced a civil lawsuit from the building's landlord, 3432 Pickle LLC. The lawsuit said Crux's claim the climbing walls were "trade fixtures" and were erroneous. The landlord went on to say it was seeking a declaration the climbing walls were its property.

Crux Chief Operation Officer Grace Nicholas said they were fighting the accusations.

A commercial broker with McAllister and Associates said trade fixtures are usually spelled out in the initial lease agreement but said it could become a gray area.

“Trade fixtures would be like the sign of the business that is renting out front or like specific shelving,” the broker said. “If it does cause serious changes to the property and you don’t have it spelled out within the lease, that’s when you’ll have to get a lawyer involved.”

In the statement provided to KXAN Friday, the firm said the lease ended, and they were moving out. However, that isn't stopping the gym from going on to its next endeavor: a new location.

Read the full statement from the gym's firm below:

"The lawsuit brought by our landlord against Crux has been dismissed, and we are pleased to announce that we will be taking our climbing walls with us. Our lease has ended, and we are in the process of moving out. We look forward to welcoming the community to our new South Austin location opening at the end of 2025."

The gym also opened another location on Dec. 13 in Pflugerville, which features 58-foot-tall climbing walls, a dedicated fitness studio and more.

The draft is three weeks away now. GM Ryan Poles and head coach Ben Johnson have pieced together an off-season that is earning widespread praise across the league. The question is whether they can stick the landing with their 1st round pick in the draft. Current projections have the top three picks likely being a mix of Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, and Abdul Carter. After that, it gets tricky. People in Chicago want to know where running back Ashton Jeanty will end once the dust settles.

Widespread belief has been that the Las Vegas Raiders are the heavy favorites to take him at 6th overall, with New Orleans at #9 also being a possibility. It makes sense. Las Vegas’ best option right now is a 33-year-old Raheem Mostert. New Orleans knows Alvin Kamara turns 30 in July. Both teams need to think about the future at that position. Both have head coaches who like to run the ball. One thing is clear. A source told SM that those around the league believe one thing is certain.

“He likely won’t get passed Chicago if he falls that far.”

Ashton Jeanty is a strong probability for the Bears.

Whispers from Halas Hall indicate they love the Boise State star. It isn’t hard to see why. He nearly broke Barry Sanders’ single-season rushing record in 2024, nearly winning the Heisman in the process. The guy carried his team to the college football playoffs. He’s built like a brick house with power, speed, contact balance, and vision. There aren’t any truly glaring weaknesses in his game. He’s earned comparisons to the likes of LaDainian Tomlinson and Marshawn Lynch. The Bears haven’t had a back of that caliber since Matt Forte.

Try to imagine what this offense could look like with Ashton Jeanty, Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore, and Cole Kmet all as options for quarterback Caleb Williams. Throw all of it into Johnson’s offense, and you can understand why some people around the league aren’t wild about the idea. They are quietly hoping Jeanty goes somewhere else. One thing is certain. If he gets past the Raiders, the noise will get loud in a hurry. It would mark the first time in 20 years the Bears have taken a running back in the 1st round.
