I think several of the Trail Angels have been there. Hopefully they will chime in!

faded1004 · 03-05-2008, 10:00 AM

it is like 30 bucks to go the first time? not too bad?

ChariotsOfTires · 03-05-2008, 10:02 AM

I've been to Hanger 18 in Upland, CA. Fun time a little expensive though.

there's one like that here in Arcadia that the girlfriend and I went to once. Nothing but walls and walls of climbing, but with no harnesses (giant padding on the floor)

fun once or twice

faded1004 · 03-05-2008, 10:08 AM

how much was the arcadia one?

davidB · 03-05-2008, 10:11 AM

day pass was $15, thought admittedly we only lasted an hour or so before getting exhausted. we should have paced ourselves, or had others go with us

that place off santa anita across from REI?

davidB · 03-05-2008, 11:25 AM

yup, though go on the weekend when other new people are there, it was intimidating on a weekday with just the local hardcore dudes there.

also, once a month they have ladies night where women climb for free for the day

katonk · 03-05-2008, 03:21 PM

We took the Cub Scouts to it last year. The boys seemed to like it.

faded1004 · 03-05-2008, 03:22 PM

katonk, did you think it was big?

katonk · 03-05-2008, 03:32 PM

Bigger than I wanted to climb!

bighit8 · 03-05-2008, 03:37 PM

I take my kids to rock city alot, its not real big, but im not a real good climber anyhow.It is a good work out.

faded1004 · 03-05-2008, 03:38 PM

i thought it would be fun to try once? my sister was asking if i would go with her, and wanted to find out if you guys had an opinion about that particular location.

i got alot of good recommendations, so i will let you guys know if i do go...

reflux · 03-05-2008, 04:30 PM

I hear that Rockreation is a good site.

Rock City I've been told has more bouldering than a typical climbing gym. Different strokes.
