Planning to bring someone to do some rock climbing. I havn't done it myself at all. So it'll be new to the both of us. Anyone know of a nice, good, popular indoor rock climbing facility in Calgary?
Thanks in advance!

Mt Royal is a little more than basic. Very nice facility actually, and practically brand new.

I like U of C the best, since the wall is poured concerte with actual rocks, holes, and cracks, more like a real mountain.

I'm not a big fan of the other ones where it's just a panel with blocks screwed into them.

They also have a bouldering wall in the basement if you head down from the change rooms.

That doesn't cost anything to use. Not a lot of people know about that.

I know that Talisman Center has one, but they might have gotten rid of that. Westside rec center has one as well if you live anywhere near Signal Hill :thumbsup:
