Like the previous reviewer I had to wait a few hours to write my review because I couldn't lift my arms to type until now! I had never been climbing before but I'd been wanting to try it so I made one of my friends come with me to try it out. For $16 you get the shoe rental, harness rental and access to facility. For first timers they make you watch a video (don't be worried if you don't have every word memorized) and then an instructor goes over everything with you, making sure that you're comfortable with everything before they leave.
There are a bunch of different walls with varying difficulties. It's a lot of fun trying to stay on the paths they have set up. A word of advice, they're harder than they look from the ground. Some of them look really easy and then you fall off three steps up, but it's a lot of fun. I'm going back on Thursday with a different friend and I'm super excited to try everything again now that I know what I'm doing!
