Business owners celebrate as Arizona health department approves reopening

PHOENIX — It was Tuesday night when AZ On the Rocks owner Kevin Berk got the notice; his climbing gym could reopen.

“She’s like when do you wanna open? I’m like, ‘9 a.m.!’” Berk remembers. “We’re opening at 9 a.m. I don’t care what happens, we are open!”

And at 9 a.m., the doors were back open and climbers were climbing.
