My friend works at an indoor rock climbing place, and I used to climb there every so often. I haven't climbed for a while, or even been to Jersey to get the chance to, but it's fun.

I use to all the time when I lived in New Mexico. Had all sorts of gear, but sold it all off before moving back to Indiana. Still have my shoes, harness and chalkbag, though. I've done the indoor thing a few times, but was mostly into the outdoor climbing.

The local YMCA has an indoor wall. I've been a few times, and it's a blast. I can climb most of their intermediate runs, and even one that tilts past vertical back into the room.

Hit my head the first time I tried that. Some point this summer, I want to try outdoor. The indoor is too short at ~25 feet. Kills my fingers and forearms after 4-5 runs though.

I plan to get into some this year. We don't have that great of climbing here in Georgia but we have some decent cliffs we can climb.

My gym has a huge indoor rockwall. Bigger than REI, Dicks, etc rock walls. You can even climb upside down. I haven't used it yet because it's often closed by the time i get to the gym but I plan to.

But I want to get all my whitewater kayaking stuff first and then rock climbing.
