EVERYONE help: where do you play on plastic?

Post by meetVA »

General question,

Just trying to get a sense of where everyone pulls on plastic that comes to the Gorge.

Where do you go to train indoors?

(Backyard/home gyms excluded please, I'm way too insanely jealous.)

Please include name of gym, city, state/province and country.

Thanks for your help!

I don't go to a climbing gym since I live in Lexington, which has gone from 2 gyms to zero. But you probably know that....

But Virge, you too can have your own backyard gym. I swear, it's sooooo EASY!!!! What you do is you take out a huge loan to build a backyard structure, max out two credit cards on supplies, and spend all your spare time setting problems and stripping walls. But I admit...it's worth it. Lexington is a great place to live but it sucks that there's no gym and we were forced to extreme measures.

See ya on Wednesday for Girls' Night! We're setting some great problems for ya! :)

I'm glad to have a reminder of this.

When I'm not on my backyard wall (hehehehe) it's mostly Hidden Peak in Chicago. Occasionally we'll head out to the Vertical Endeavors in Warrenville (the western edge of Chicago's suburban sprall) to do some longer roped climbing.

I also like Adventure Rock in the western 'burbs of Milwaukee and the silos at Upper Limits in Bloomington, IL, but 2 hours is a ways to go for gym climbing (but the wacky Japanese restaurant in Blommington where the Mitsubishi factory workers go (the line guys, not management) is a huge plus!)
