The PHO has declared indoor rock climbing is a sport, NOT a fitness activity!
If you are looking for something to keep fit, something to think about.
Hello all,
I am an American student (M) studying in Spain for the next three months, and though I am still getting settled, I was hoping to see if there were any climbing groups (or just climbers) that actively did outdoor routes (or indoor as the weather is relatively cold). I would love to get some sport climbing or top rope in.
I have been climbing for a couple years sporadically, and would climb in what I think is the 4c to 5c range (5.7-5.9, with some 5.10 for USA). I have shoes, harness, and an ATC, but nothing else.
If climbing outside, I can't help with much of the supplies, but I can help move the gear and contribute in other ways. I am can do limited anchor building (mostly with static ropes and bo-line knots) and can lead belay. I have climbed hard routes outdoors, but they are few and far between.
If indoors, then I should have no problem at all belaying and climbing.
If anyone is interested, please DM me and maybe we can work something out, even if for a day.
Thanks!
I recently took an indoor rock climbing class that involved tying knots. The instructions on on how to tie the knots literally felt like someone was speaking a foreign language. I was trying to explain this to my husband after the class but he didn’t really understand why I had such a hard time with it. Of course I have had experiences like this in my life but this was a reminder I guess. Any experiences like this with something “easy” and people around you not understanding you having difficulty? I guess I’m looking for stories of physical activities that require your brain and body to work together.
By any chance, naa bay lugar sa davao na pwede mag indoor rock climbing? Not sure where else to ask. Salamat!
Anyone know of any good sized indoor rock climbing gyms in the Seoul area? I’ve found a few but the walls are maybe only 4 meters tall so I’m hoping there’s something taller! Thanks!
What do you suggest? Looking to workout and possibly meet like minded people.
Just curious, anyone frequent Vertical Ventures over in St. Pete? I joined recently and just looking to meet some people who climb there often during the week or weekends.
Hi everyone, I'm 5 weeks pregnant with my first child. My husband and I recently started indoor rock climbing and we are in love with it.
I'm wondering what are other pregnant people's experiences with the sport? My doctor said I'm good to keep going as long as I feel comfortable and avoid bad falls.
My plan is to stop when I hit the 2nd trimester. I already know I will miss it a lot. When did you stop in your pregnancy? After baby, when did you go back? Do you leave the baby with a sitter?
I'm kind of dreaming of a post-covid world where my husband and I take turns holding the baby at the gym while the other climbs, but realistically that won't be happening.
Sorry if title is confusing. My gym has a wall that looks similar to this pic. I have to admit it's pretty difficult to climb for me as a beginner, and feels like a completely different beast than typical indoor climbing walls. Is this kind of it's own thing? Or does it feel similar to outdoor climbing?
Anybody know of indoor rock climbing clubs that do lessons or classes for 5 year olds? Or any sort of climbing or obstacle course classes? My kid loves that crap and needs to burn of some energy. Thanks!
i looked all over couldn’t find one place
Mr. Gamer has a membership with Momentum Katy but has to climb later, after our kids are put to bed, around 8:30 pm, during the week.
Would anyone want to meet up to climb with him? All skill levels, including just wanting to try it out, welcome.
I'm looking for more hobbies and want to try indoor rock climbing. Is it totally awkward to go to one of these places for the first time/with zero knowledge by myself? I can't find anybody to go with
Hey hey! As the title said, there’s a new indoor rock climbing gym that opened up on Williamsburg Brooklyn and they’re offering free passes and rental gear for the whole week and I thought it would be nice to gather a small group of people who have been interested in trying it out but haven’t yet or maybe its your new year’s resolution to just try things and this would be a perfect time to do so!
and its not exclusive to people who haven’t climbed yet, beginners and seasoned veterans are welcome!!
Just the title. Preferably suburban areas. Any leads would be appreciated! TIA!
Namaskara, do any of y'all know any indoor rock climbing walls in Bangalore?
Preferably ones that are beginner friendly. If so, what's your experience been like?
What is the indoor rock climbing scene like in taranaki / NP? Thoughts on Crux climbing?
Hi! I recently tried indoor rock climbing/bouldering on Central Rock Gym a few block away from Columbus circle and i honestly had fun that all i could think about was going back there again and get better. (Maybe also get a membership)
And i was thinking of gathering a few people to bring with me that are interested in trying it out and maybe we could continue improving together and having fun in the gym!
im thinking of around 2 people and the gym has covid protocols going on and they’re limiting attendance.
Walk ins are welcome and the fee for a day pass is $33 and $7 for gear rentals (shoes and harness)
Looking forward to hearing from you guys!
I want to learn how to rock climb and I've been looking around youtube and websites as such and I found "Magnus Midtbø" on youtube, a retired rock climber who does videos and is still in great shape.. he made videos on improvements with finger strength, general physique etc.
I want just about any tips about where to start, any general gyms, or walls etc.
P.S. cheaper the better. And any technique improvement is appreciated
Hello! You might find me familiar as i’ve posted an indoor rock climbing meet up post before and its me again! while i’ve made a new friend from the previous meetup, sadly he goes to another gym and it was really nice to climb with a friend. so
So im extending invitations to anyone who climbs at that Gym or who has an interest in climbing and want to check it out, maybe you’d want to continue and be a member and we can be climbing buddies!!
If you think “it’s interesting but im not in shape to climb” well if it helps, im a 5’11 205 lbs guy so i have some extra pounds in and can still climb! Im in my third week of Climbing and progress is visible!!
Thus, im looking forward to hearing from you!!
is there any rock climbing here? I'm looking for a gym I can start taking my son to see if he likes it as much as he thinks he does. I'm not seeing any around here when I google. Is there one I'm missing?
Thanks!
Anyone have any good places for indoor rock climbing?
