Don’t have the time to go to far-flung places for rock climbing? Why not try the nearest Rock Climbing gym. Gym climbing is safer, easier and more fun than you probably think. It’s a great activity that’s sociable and not weather dependent. It’s perfect for kids, and a great way to put a little adventure in your workouts.
Green Mountain Rock Climbing Center is a perfect alternative. The safe non-intimidating environment gym can help you become pros and scale new adventures in the wild.
The climbing walls at the gym stand 25′ tall and have 30 rope stations spread over 8,000 square feet of climbing. The surfaces are brilliantly painted with murals ranging from desert sandstone, to Yosemite National Park.
Whenever a person is on a climb, they are roped in and belayed with a gadget called a “grigri” that automatically prevents the rope from slipping. Peel off the wall and you hang like a spider on a thread. Falling in the gym is part of the fun.
