| - I recently found out a dirty little secret: my friends have been rock climbing all summer long...without me! Mind you, I've never gone rock climbing, but I love all things athletic and novel!
After discovering their indiscretions, I decided to go with some coworkers on Ladies Night (Wednesdays, $5 day pass with a local ID. With shoes and the harness, it comes out to $13). Getting situated was a bit of a hot mess - the line spanning to the door, completely passing by the liability waiver, the guys working there scrambling trying to accommodate a random influx of customers. After everything was figured out, the two Kevin's were so friendly and helpful! If you've never been rock climbing, the belaying lesson is free. After that, you're set free to climb one of nearly thirty walls. In case that didn't suit your fancy, they have the bouldering contraption or various harness to test your acrobatic skills.
The only downside of Nevada Climbing Centers was the fact that a few walls were run-down. Loose rocks prevented some climbing, whereas completely missing rocks made climbing extremely difficult for a noob like me. Aside from that, the staff are friendly, and for the price, I'd go every Wednesday!
