Once someone told me I look like a famous rock climber, and when I Googled her, even I saw the strange resemblance. Obviously I had to find out if my climbing skills were also as similar as our appearances. Ok, that's a lie; I already liked rock climbing. I have been climbing on fake walls before, but definitely preferred scaling actually cliffs. I couldn't find any cliffs nor do I have ropes, so I settled for Dyno Rock.
Initially I could not find it due to its lack of obvious signage, but eventually I realized the creepy, windowless building on a backstreet in a junkyard-like area was actually the business I wanted. The inside was much cooler than I had expected. There are basically endless ways to climb the many walls. Unfortunately my loneliness has caused me to only climb the auto-belay walls. Even then, the rocks are labelled different colors that correspond to different difficulties, so there are many paths to entertain one even on a single wall. I have been twice and still managed to fatigue myself climbing only the 5 loner walls and I was not bored.
There is also a bouldering wall, which does not require a partner, but I cannot figure out how people stay adhered to the walls while being upside down... Alas, my climbing skills really do not mirror Sasha DiGulian's.
So, how about a star for each of the 5 auto-belay walls. Also, the staff is extremely friendly. They enlightened me to the half price hours, so I climbed for a little over $10! Yes folks, if you arrive between 11 and 3 on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday you can climb ALL day for just $10 + some coins.
