Climbing the Walls

Apr 07, 2005 23:57

I can't think of many better places to get an eye full of candy than at the rock gym. I checked out the Boulder Rock Club with 477150n and Jon this evening, and it was awesome. It's no Off The Boards, the place that Jon and I *loved* but closed down almost immediately, but this place is still pretty cool ( Read more... )

I am so insanely jealous right now. What gear did you get? When I get home, I want to get a new pair of anasazi velcros. They are my favorite climbing shoe. I also need to get a new harness. My last one was a Black Diamond, and those are good for gym climbing, but I think I want to look for something a little more secure and with a wider waist belt for more comfort. I tend to climb for 5-7 hours at a time and need more cushiony goodness.

once again: Me=SO JEALOUS.

Shit, I'd be jealous too, if I read this post on someone else's journal. It was SO much fun ( ... )

When I come to Boulder, you and I are climbing! And checking out the hotties, as I am sure CO has many. Currently I only climb 5.7-5.8. At my peak I was climbing 5.11 b-c's. but that was amny a year ago.

I like the Lady Mythos. Those are the purple ones, right? I tried a pair when La Sportiva came and did a demo at our gym. I am poor and my friend had a pair of Mad Rocks, which are VERY cheap, but she liked them. Since I'm not doing a lot of technical climbing yet, I may invest in those instead.

Does your gym have the textured walls or plywood with holds?

MY lady mythos are pale green, but I think that might be new this year. I have seen them in purple before, so, something ( ... )

psst... we could always go bouldering outside. :) Or underneath the engineering center. There's a fun bouldering game I used to play on an easy wall. The first person climbs the wall, then makes a certain hold off limits for the next person, who then has to try to climb it. And so on until it becomes impossible.

I had fun yesterday too, even though I'm a weakling.
