Competitive Indoor Sport Climbing and Bouldering
This is a fun sport for all ages. Climbing facilities provide a controlled, supervised environment where novice through professional climbers can exercise in an enjoyable way. Trained staff teach the necessary safety techniques, and climbing gear is available for rent or purchase. Many gyms in our region operate for you to enjoy. Take advantage of this fun sport!
You get a lot more than fun when you climb. Climbing exercise engages all muscle groups simultaneously, including balance, which is as important as raw strength--but it's a "thinking challenge" too. Indoor climbers must figure out a do-able sequence of moves to complete the route. Climbers learn mental control as their skills develop. Climbers often cross train in unrelated sports to enhance balance and endurance needed for excelling in climbing.
Give indoor climbing a try and get hooked.
