My husband and I came last Friday for date night and we are so happy we did! It was my first time indoor rock climbing so I was quite weary about it at first. We entered and paid the weekend rate which ended up being $22/person (cheaper than its competitor) including equipment and shoes. We got geared up and was given a lesson on climbing and belaying by our super friendly instructor. Climbing up my first wall with my husband belaying me, I didn't want to sit back or let go of the wall with fear of falling but the guy working, Bryan or Ryan, made me feel comfortable enough to trust the rope tied around my husband's waist, and sit back 30 feet up in the air.
It was all smooth sailing after that. My husband and I took turns climbing a bunch of walls for almost 2 hours, and by the end of the night, I couldn't climb one more wall because my arms had no strength left in them. My husband played around with bouldering because he's strong enough, but that wall with the little concave in it killed us both. When I went to the bathroom to wash my hands, I had the weirdest sensation of not being able to close my hands completely without effort. I suppose that means I got a good work out!
I'm so glad we found this place to work out before we shove our faces with AYCE sushi from Blue Fin. My husband is aching to get a membership but I just don't think it's conducive for our family with 2 little ones. 1 star deduction for the cleanliness of the place. Dirty bathrooms, and just kind of messy in general. I just kept in mind that it's a climbing place ran by men. We'll be back!
