Last month’s trip to Joshua Tree left the Black Canary and me with a yen to climb some rocks. Where to go for the climbing n00b? A few months ago, Hexodus wrote some nice words about Arcadia Rock Climbing. After taking the first of our four-session intro class – named School of Rock, natch – I can heartily concur. We walked in with nary a clue and after only a short time, we were scampering up and down the walls like a couple of wall-scampering things.
Going back tonight, if the traffic isn’t too ridiculous, and I pray I remember how to correctly tie the knots.
And again, I’ll say something nice about the place.
Because its awesome!
Hangar 18 in Upland is a pretty good spot as well. Probably not as big (judging from the photo) as the Arcadia spot, but a nice place nonetheless.

The Arcadia climbing gym also is a *great* place to have a kids birthday party. All the kids get to climb, they provide a room/tables/and chairs, and the gym handles the cleanup. You just need kids, presents, and cake !
