Portable Rock Climbing Walls

Posted November 7, 2008 – 10:54 pm in: rock climbing

As you already know if you’ve ever actually been climbing at a real rock gym or at a real climbing site, there is a huge difference between rock climbing and the portable rock climbing walls you may have seen in your local mall. I get tired sometimes of telling people about my favorite sport and them saying, “Oh I have been rock climbing. I made it all the way to the top.” So I’ll usually invite them to the rock gym I go to and show them what it really means to rock climb. I don’t like to boast or show off, but I don’t like that these commercial giants minimize the sport. Even well known rock gyms don’t do the sport justice. There is a big rock gym in Houston that used to have like 5 locations. When the gym I go to opened, they shut down 2 of them, and when my gym opened a second location, they shut down 2 more. That’s why I climb there. So don’t waste your time or money on one of those portable rock climbing walls when you can experience a really great work out and simultaneously enjoy the greatest sport ever.
