Anyone else climb?
 
I just got my new climbing gear in today shoes, chalk bag a few more Caribeans, chalk bag, and a nice momentum style harness and wanted to see if anyone else here shares my passion for climbing.

Whether it be strictly indoor climbing gyms, or out door group trips.

Let me know I have some planned trips coming up this year that should really be a blast, all level from newbies to experienced lvl 15s

You cant go wrong going to a rock gym if you wanna learn. 99% of climbers help eachother out even if your new to it. They always have harness rentals, and a belay instruction.

If you ever wanna make a trip out of it come on down to EliteClimbing in moorestown area where I can be found.

Its actually a good question for about 25 bucks you have the harness and shoe rental and your pass for the day.

stevethepirate 03-11-2009 01:24 PM

I used to climb quite a bit when I was living in Italy. Its just hard to go from the Alps to a rock gym :p



(And I'm stupidly out of shape now)
