Indoor Rock Climbing
Wednesday May 14, 2008 // Share on Facebook
Last night Laura, Jason and I went rock climbing last night w/ my gym buddies at the Niagara Climbing Center in N. Tonawanda, which I haven’t been to in 10-11 years. Boy, have they changed things.
Last time I was there you’d have to tie in each time, get it inspected, and your belayer would have to actually work to keep you up. Now you just quickly clip in and the belayer has a safety latch to keep you from falling to your death (or, at least from getting hurt). That gave us a lot more time to climb, instead of goofing around w/ strapping in.
I wasn’t too fond of being up so high - I have to get over that. There were a couple climbs I just couldn’t do because of the lack of places to grab onto. But, overall, I was quite happy w/ how I did. Jason was a maniac, flying up the walls (and sometimes flying off of them!).
Both Jason and Laura want to go back, and since it’s pretty cheap ($10 all day pass, $2 harness rental) I’m sure we’ll be going back soon.
