This is where I first learned to do a figure of eight knot re-threaded, and the first place where I actually scaled a wall in all it's entirety. Rock climbing is serious fun, but unless you're in tip...

I never thought I'd find myself thinking of going to the "gym" as a treat. Really, it feels more like going to the adult playground. The climbing is fantastic and varied, the people are friendly,...

This place is great. Rock climbing is very addictive and I now find myself in the curious situation of wanting to go to the gym 5 days out of the week. Sure, it's twice as expensive as my old gym...

I haven't climbed a rock (or a fake rock for that matter) since I was twelve. But this is a great place to work out. Everyone is friendly, and the addition of the climbers makes it seem like less of...

Ironworks makes me wish I were all hardcore and buffed out. It's just that kind of place. I went today and dislocated my right shoulder (let me tell you, that shit hurt like a motherfucker), but...

No matter how hard I run on that tredmill I can never catch those hot rock-climber boys...but it's a pretty good motivation to keep me running. The tredmills overlook the climbing walls and obviously...

Seems like it wouldn't be such a good workout but my arms were burning after just 6 climbs. Fun to go in a group for a little friendly competition. Everyone seems to be nice. There is a little bit...
