45 minute one-way Metroride on
Red line - $7.00 (roundtrip)admission to Earthtreks Climbing Center- $13.00 climb + mingle @ a great climbing gym- pricele$$
a short, stout v6 climb (thx Peter for the film)
Maybe it's all the stress from school which makes me "climb up the walls." I get into the climbing gym roughly twice a month right now with school and all, so I have been pleasantly surprised with my level of fitness; that I can actually climb up anything at all is a miracle. I marvel at how our bodies can intuitively remember how to do things after long hiatus(es); a prime example is bicycle riding.
Here is an anonymous climber on the
crazy good bouldering cave .This thing get's you strong or kicks your butt ...depending on how much time you invest. I've seen strong guys jog up v10s on this thing...as warm ups.
Oh, yeah, there are actually black climbers! I've met a few here.
oh... more about the gym can be found:

Nick,
nice job, that looks like a pretty tough problem, what gym is that?
Earthtreks Rock Gym in Rockville, MD... Matt Bosley and Jason Kehl supposedly set in this 3-gym franchise... pretty sick lines and VERY sandbagged routes...I've yet to redpoint a 5.12...but I'm getting fit on the boulders (my record is one v9)
Thanks, I love reading your blog. Where are you now? Nicci, my step daughter thought she saw you at St. Petes...call us!
