Have you ever been to an indoor rock climbing gym?

I went for the first time 4 months ago and now I go 3 times a week! I also do as much outdoor climbing as the weather will allow. I am hooked! I live in Reno and they just built the worlds largest outdoor climbing wall, cant wait to climb it this summer!

I was very active in college with our club climbing twice a week at gyms in Pontiac and Ann Arbor, MI. But since I haven't seemed to find the time.

Have you gone outdoors at all? Ever go to the New River Gouge?

Yes, I climb indoors regularly. About 2-3 times a week for the past 2 years.

@jsoko: I have not. I live in Reno area and last weekend went on a trip to Death Valley to see the race track Playa (very very cool btw) and decided to make a detour through Bishop,CA on the way home(brought the crashpad and shoes just in case!) and had an epic climbing weekend. I will research the gorge and you do the same with Bishop!

edit: wow, what an amazing place! (even climbing aside) little far for a road trip though... wonder how much to fly my crashpad :)

Do you guys prefer top rope, lead climbing, bouldering?

I'm about 70/30 bouldering to top rope. I'd like to learn to lead climb soon too.

I go to an indoor climbing wall in Maine. I have an unfair advantage on the expert routes because I am tall and have a long reach.

@davidschronic: I will for sure! I don't typically use a crashpad... The nice thing about NRG is there's all types of climbing for all skills, and you can easily set up top ropes, or if you are experienced you can lead climb.

@90mcg112: I used to like bouldering a lot but now not so much. I would say I'm 60/40 Top/Lead.

I have been to the Philly Rock Gym in Oaks PA many times. They are great people and a great place to climb.

@jsoko: I still predominately boulder, probably 90/10 boulder/top rope. Probably just because I don't feel comfortable so high off the ground, even with a rope. I am very interested in idea of lead climbing though. I got a harness for Christmas and have a friend who got his first rope so I guess I just have to get used to it. Still being the outdoors type, I think i will invest in some quick draws and get on some of the outdoor routes up around Lake Tahoe.

I enjoy rock climbing. I go to Rocksport in Reno Nevada? Where do you go Davidschronic?

I've been a few times to a barn that was turned into an indoor gym - called the Rock Barn. I've went to one of the tourist "indoor climbing wall" hotels once, and I saw a rotating wall at Eastern Mountain Sports but never gave it a second look. I've done some bouldering outdoors.
I did outdoor ice climbing once, yes I know it's different but it was cool just the same.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
