Want to go rock climbing in OKC but aren’t sure what gym is best for you? I get it, it’s not an easy decision! You don’t want to commit to a day pass let alone a membership only to find out the gym you choose doesn’t have what you’re looking for. We’ve been there before…
When you set off to buy your first pair of climbing shoes, one of the first things you’ll notice is the sizing is different. Most climbing shoes are made in Europe and therefor use European sizing.

Free climbing and free soloing Top roping and leading. Bouldering and speed. Climbing has come a long way since its start, including its debut as an olympic sport.

There’s plenty of great outdoor climbing across the Mid-west.

Rock climbing in St. Louis is no exception. Compared to places like Boston or Dallas, the climbing gym scene…
Rock climbing in San Antonio has yet to explode — in fact the scene is quite small. Personally, I find that surprising. With other metropolitan areas like Dallas and Houston exploding with both private and corporate gyms, you’d think every city would follow suit. But alas, the gym scene hasn’t really caught up with the…
Looking to do some rock climbing in Boston? The city might be famous for its charming cobblestone streets, historic neighborhoods, and rich history, but there are plenty of places to climb.

Learning to climb requires using a new language. From equipment to slang to basic definitions, there is a lot to take in. Starting off, one of the most important things to understand is sport vs. trad climbing. Sport vs. trad climbing: Difference explained Sport climbing emphasizes physical challenge and uses pre-placed bolts for protection, while…
Everyone has a favorite pair of climbing shoes that just seem to fit like magic. But when the rubber starts to wear and the liner starts to show, we’re struck with dread at the thought of dropping another $200 and having to break in a fresh pair of kicks. But fear not, there is an…

Hanging belays—belays where there is no ledge for you to stand on so you have to simply hang in your harness—are no fun. Hang there long enough and your legs will go numb. One solution is a belay seat, which is exactly what it sounds like: a seat you sit in at the belay. Fish (at…

“Sport climbing is neither.” It’s something that used to be on t-shirts and bumper stickers (and probably still is). But what exactly does it mean?
