  3. Has D ever listed a comprehensive guide of local climbing walls? My kiddos love doing this…in Colorado, or at REI. Any others a bit more convenient?

  7. ummm shouldn’t that be fake rock wall climbing? I’m sure the Boulder Chamber of Commerce would love a piece of the action on that claim.

  8. My 14-year-old spent part of his summer rock climbing,wildernessing, and mountaineering in Wyoming. I don’t beleive the fake rock walls include low temps, glaciers, snow, and real live animals in their program.
