Anyone into Rock Climbing?

[Alex [mindfulMonkey]]

Any climbers in the crowd? I need a belay partner.

Go Vertical anyone?

[Dave]

I never have, but I've always had an interest in taking it up.

When do you go?

[Heather Richardson]

Oooh!  Yes!  I am just learning though.  

I've gone 3 times and think it is amazing, I am going to take my belay cert test tomorrow.  I've just been going to the wall on Drexel's campus, but would love to check out Go Vertical sometime soon.  Right now I can climb 5.4/5.5 pretty easily, and have tried a few 5.6 routes.  I usually have to cheat my way through the hard parts, but it is way fun.

Awesome. I've done it on and off and I'm coming off a 1 year hiatus so I'm starting pretty much from scratch. 

I was going to go Sat morning with my little sister. Can you join? If not, let's figure out another day.

Dave, I don't have a set schedule, tho I would like to.  I want to go at least once a week, if not more, but that depends on who else can go. 

Let's plan an Official Climbing day for anyone to come. I suggested Sat morning but that may be too little notice for some people.

How about Sat morning at 10:30am

AND

Tues evening at 7PM

At Go Vertical

Anyone interested is welcome!  I will send out more details later (like how to find each other)

Woo hooo!

[Heather Richardson]

Can we do Wednesday evening instead?  I have Monday and Tuesday night classes, and I can do Saturdays after this Saturday, most likely.

[Alex Stanciu]

No prob.

Wed 7pm, Redditors at Go Vertical.

Unofficial meetup still on for Sat morning.

[Dave]

Saturdays I golf in the morning but I could alternate and probably
pull it off twice a month. Sundays I could pull off weekly. Tuesdays
would be tough because I have meetings that sometimes go late until 6
and I'm in Trenton. I could do Mondays and/or Wednesdays around that
time because I know I'll be out at 5.

I'd really like to go twice a week. I tend to hate the gym and this
would be a nice alternative.

YES.

I'd be very interested in joining in any rock climbing. I'm new to
Philly, live in center city, and I'm without a car though.

Keep me posted!

[Kevin C]

Quick question, what's the policy on equipment and rentals there?

[Alex Stanciu]

bring your own, or rent. check their website for more details or call

[Dave]

I think I'm gonna skip out on Saturday and go golfing. It's gonna be
too nice out!

I'm definitely gonna come out Wednesday night if it's on.

[Kevin C]

Yeah, I checked out their site and fees. It looks like it'd cost me a
total of $30 to climb there, with equipment rental and day pass. I
doubt I have the stamina built up right now to do more than 3 to 5
climbs. =\

At least it looks like there's a nearby subway station, so I can make
my own way there.
