Post by rock_climbr » Tue Aug 30, 2005 2:33 pm

just wondering what everyone's favourite and least favourite gyms are.

things like who sets the best routes and who has the cheapest rates and the coolest walls and things like that

Well, at The Rock Wall, we don't have the biggest, or the best walls, but I like to say that we have the best people.





Other than Phil.





And creepey guy who people think he lives there.






Wait...that's me...

Vertical Reality, Surrey.

Far and away the gym with the best attitude. Sure there are lots of kids around sometimes, but they are always gone by 830-ish. Makes for a nice quite evening workout.
The Hangout is a close second.

I went to the cliffhanger Vcr yesterday. What a rip off. It cost $17 to boulder and the routes (all 8 of them) were crap. Other than that... as far as I could tell it was a top rope only gym. Next time I will wait in an hour traffic to hit the Coquitlam gym.

I usually go to The Hangout. It's not the biggest gym, but often it's not too busy, and they have great rates, especially if you're a student or you go during one of their specials. They recently added a cool lead wall that goes accross the ceiling.[/url]
