The place I went was called Planet Rock. The walls were about 50 or 60 feet high. WOW was that fun!!!!!!

After we went through training on knot tying and bilaying (SP?) they let us loose on the walls. I thought I would be a little scared after I got off the ground but I wasn't. I made it about 10 feet from the top on my first climb before my arms gave out and I could not hold on any more. I made a total of three climbs, made it to the top once and had a blast!!

I'm already trying to schedual another visit but I have to wait until my ability to grip things comes back.
