| - This being my first time rock climbing and having a tremendous fear of heights, I'm not gonna lie, I was a little apprehensive about the whole thing. But we had a Groupon that was about to expire (that I had bought on one of my Groupon sprees) and my boyfriend assured me that it would be fun, so off we went.
And...it was actually a ton of fun. Being a first-timer, the staff had us watch a safety video which though rather quiet, was later reinforced when a member of the staff walked us through how to secure the ropes, check each other's ropes, and of course, belay.
Once I had asked all the questions I needed, and assured that I was doing it right (cause, you know, my boyfriend's life was literally in my hands), we were all set! They have some pretty interesting rock walls, with little tapes to identify the different paths which were of varying difficulty. It wasn't too crowded when we got there around noon, but at about 1PM, it was becoming a bit of a feat to find a wall without someone right next to you.
We took turns climbing for about 2 hours, as that was about all our arms could take. So all in all, great experience, great staff, big on safety, and I'll definitely be back!
