The price with your own gear is $23.00. If you need gear the cost is $28.00. If you plan on becoming a climbing legend you may want to inquire about punch cards for additional savings. Central Rock Gym is one of the nation's largest indoor climbing gym.Whether you are a beginner or a world class athlete, they have a climb for you. Central Rock has walls extending 25 feet to 60 feet high to challenge both your strength and mind, and a bouldering room that will not bore even the most fanatical gym rats. New routes go up on a weekly basis. In addition to climbing, yoga, and spin, Central Rock also has a fitness center, consisting of cardio equipment, circuit training, and free weights. After you arrive at Central Rock, pay at the front desk first. Get the equipment if you don't have it and walk to the left side of the gym. That is where you'll find the trip leader(s). Climbing, by nature, is small group event. You will find small groups of AOC folks scattered around the gym trying out different walls to climb. There are a number of self belays spread throughout the facility with various difficulty ratings. Also be aware that climbing is a partner concept. One person belays, the other climbs. And then they switch. Please get belay certified prior to joining the group. The gym offers low cost instruction, and this prepares you best for the test they will administer. Link here Note that it is not the Trip Leader responsibility to teach you how to climb. However, the Trip Leader and other experienced AOC climbers are most likely going to be there and willing to give advice and get you started on the right path. The routes you choose can be as easy or as hard as you want. You don't need to feel intimidated. Every advanced climber was a beginner at some point in their lives. If you get tired, you can stop to rest, sit around, watch other climbers, or just socialize. The most important thing in rock climbing is not to conquer every route in the gym, but to have fun while you
