点评:Great time here at the Rock Club.
Purchased a Groupon and decided to visit on a Friday morning. Called ahead and the front desk staff were very quick in getting back to me to confirm that a belayer was available at that time. They also confirmed the Groupon over the phone. I went ahead and completed the required waiver forms online prior to our visit.
Adequate parking was available at that time. The Rock Club (downstairs) shares its space with a with a tennis club, so make sure you follow the ramp down toward the Rock Club entrance and NOT the stairs whih leads to the tennis club.
We arrived at around 10am and it was fairly empty. The Rock Club staff explained the process and set us up with climbing shoes.
We were then introduced to our belayer who was awesome. Over the next hour, we tried climbs ranging in difficulty. The wall heights range from about 35-40 feet and the peg placement and wall angles vary throughout the climbs, making some more difficult than others. We even had some time to try some bouldering. Our belayer was great at explaining techniques and technical terms. She was very patient and very encouraging...though not "pushy" at all.
After we finished, the staff was nice enough to show us around to see what else was available at the facility: childrens area, common areas, training rooms and weight rooms.
May go without saying...wear comfy clothes. As a regular gym-goer, but someone who has NOT climbed before, this was a welcomed challenge. Certain muscles, particularly the forearms and core, may not be part of the typical gym regimen...but are very important in climbing...that being said, I was definitely feeling it the next day.
Overall we had a great experience at the Rock Club. We will deinifitely look into other classes.
Kudos to all the staff members there.

购买了 Groupon 并决定周五早上去参观。提前打电话,前台工作人员很快回复我,确认当时有保护者。他们还通过电话确认了Groupon。在我们访问之前,我继续在网上填写了所需的豁免表格。
当时有足够的停车位。摇滚俱乐部(楼下)与网球俱乐部共享空间,因此请确保沿着坡道向下走向摇滚俱乐部入口,而不是通往网球俱乐部的楼梯。
我们上午10点左右到达,那里相当空。摇滚俱乐部的工作人员解释了整个过程,并为我们安排了登山鞋。
然后我们被介绍给我们的保护者,他很棒。在接下来的一个小时里,我们尝试了各种难度的攀登。墙壁高度约为 35 至 40 英尺,在整个攀登过程中,钉子的位置和墙壁角度各不相同,这使得有些攀爬比其他攀登更加困难。我们甚至还有时间尝试抱石。我们的保护者非常擅长解释技术和技术术语。她非常耐心并且非常鼓励......尽管一点也不“咄咄逼人”。
结束后,工作人员很友善地带我们参观设施,看看还有什么设施:儿童区、公共区域、训练室和举重室。
不言而喻……穿舒适的衣服。作为一名经常去健身房但以前从未攀岩过的人,这是一个值得欢迎的挑战。某些肌肉,特别是前臂和核心,可能不属于典型的健身训练的一部分……但在攀岩中非常重要……话虽如此,第二天我肯定感觉到了。
总的来说,我们在摇滚俱乐部度过了愉快的经历。我们将无限期地研究其他课程。
感谢那里的所有工作人员。
