Gym
Climbing Overview |
Climbing gyms are
often
available in the event of bad weather and/or evenings, and are an
excellent way to stay in shape during the winter.
Many leaders get
their first leading experience at gyms. The routes are generally well
protected, and the falls seldom result in injuries.
