Rock Climbing Trainer

So today is a little wet in Tennessee. Perfect day for some indoor Rock Climb Training. If you are in the Chattanooga area, I strongly suggest http://urbanrocksgym.com. Urban rocks is a great indoor climbing gym with tons of good routes to practice on a a great bouldering section. When it gets too wet, or to cold to climb outside, find yourself a nice indoor gym, and keep the skill going! The more you practice the better you get. For strictly bouldering http://tbagym.com/

WWhen my wife and I worked at YMCA camp Ocoee, we would climb almost every day. this moved us to a whole new level with our climbing to the point that we could learn to lead climb. Now that lead climbing is an option, rather than top roping where ever we could find some strong trees, so many more options have opened up to us. Places like New River Gorge West Virginia and Red River in Virginia became possible climbing spots, and also Horse Pens 40 (bouldering) in Alabama.

So even on a wet and rainy labor day, you can still get your adventure on, and go climbing, just indoors... got to practice somehow!
