Indoor Rock Climbing

Post by **breaksRbest** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 11:54 am

Who's up for some Indoor Rock Climbing?

There's a new place in the city (just next to Miss Lib's) that I've been hanging to try

I haven't done it for years, but scaled up the wall like I was Spiderman the last time I did

Anyone wanna take turns to belay?

I'd be interested too.

Drew is a pretty good rock climber apparently, you should let him know

Far out rock climbing is hard work! I remember doing it a few years back and my forearms cramping up on me....

All about strength to weight ratio.

I am so not fit enough to be tackling that.

I saw that place in the city the other day too, Hardrock.

I have never been climbing before, so I'd probably like to try their courses, but they don't do them in the city yet.

"Group bookings are for a minimum of 10 people and run for a total of 2 hours.

The benefits of making a group booking are obvious, your entry is reduced from $29.00 per adult down to $18.00 each."

that's pretty cheap!

let me know when you guys can make it

Jeebus - it ain't exactly cheap!

kinda like indoor skiing or indoor downhill mountain biking.

Isn't 50% of it about getting out of the indoors.

Ignore me.

I have a headache.

Post by **breaksRbest** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 5:16 pm

2 hour drive to a climbable mountain Vs a quick trip to the city followed by Beers at Miss Libs

no contest

I just went & checked it out, impressive. I'll definately be going in the very near future

almax · Post by **almax** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 5:43 pm

Werribee Gorge is only bout an hours drive, same with the You Yangs. Dont get me wrong, Hardrock is pretty cool when it comes to indoor climbing, but nothing beats the real stuff, so much more adrenaline and fresh air and views and just a better day out.
Im just saying if you like indoors, find someone who has a rope and all the gear and the know how and get them to take you, even just to Werribee Gorge. Camels Hump on Mt Macedon in Summer is nice too

Does anyone know what this new place is called? I'd like to find out what kind of setup they got there and see if it's better than goin to nunawading.

Hmmm.. wonder if they've moved from nunawading or expanded. Cos the setup out there was pretty good.

I went there saturday morning after a pretty fucking random friday night, hence the random action on saturday morning.

Good fun. Bit tough on the fingers though

Drew used to be a hardcore climber/boulderer and use to do route setting for some of the gyms, you should let him know. Glad they've moved from Nundawading, used to be a friggin mission to get out here.

Camels hump for me, wasn't a big fan when I visited Werribee. For a real climbing fix, head out to Arapiles or the Grampians - some world class climbing out there...

^^Aptly named Passport to Insanity, one of the hardest crack climbs in Australia.

Glenny... I'm always up for this shit, seriously, when ever you go, text me and i'm in... i'll get the first round of beers afterwards...

Post by **breaksRbest** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 12:49 pm

it's a deal

I think I'm gonna get a 10 visit pass for $144 and may even buy a harness & shoes (saves money in the long run)

llupa · Post by **llupa** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 12:19 am

I need to climb again...

used to indoor climb heaps when I lived in Sydney - 3 times a week kinda thing.. but done nothing since moving down here so a little rusty

Heard about this place, seems a little expensive, but then it does look like the bollox and is in the CBD.

If anybody is looking for a partner or needs numbers for a group, just let me know as I'm keen as mustard!

Just had my first climb at Hardrock, weeee! Fucking sick fun

Bad, bad move not warming up or cooling down though, I'm gonna be in agony tomoz. Definitely something that could become a habit
