One of the great things about RIT was the on-campus climbing gym. I spent many a night there climbing, training, and hanging out. Until last night, I hadn’t found anything similar in Charlottesville. There is a climbing gym, but it is supposedly very over priced and not very good. So I’ve been holding off on dumping money into that.
Last night I went to a bouldering area about 20 minutes outside of Cville. It was great! While there are only a few smallish boulders (nothing compared to the Niagara Glen), it was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, not having bouldered since May, my fingers were quite weak and soft. I managed to slice two finger tips open on holds! My fingers are a bit sore today, which should make climbing tomorrow interesting. But it was great to get out!
