Rock Climbing

I just visited northern California (aka NORCAL) this past weekend and got a chance to check out a climbing gym out there. I used to climb at a gym in Rivereside called ThreshHold when I was in college and I really miss it! The gym was pretty awesome. Rock climbing is starting to grow in Southern California but I hear it is pretty big in Norcal. One of Mike's friends took us Planet Granite. Don't be fooled by the simple outer appearance. The inside of the gym is amazing!

This place is a real gem. Not only does it have a large bouldering (climbing free of ropes) section and it has a  high top roping section. It also has treadmills and workout stations as well as areas that offer cross fit classes and yoga!

Here are some photos of us just messing around on the rocks.

This experience made me want to start climbing again! Hopefully I can find a good climbing gym around my area! If there is a new sport that you want to try out, try rock climbing! The climbing community is extremely friendly and helpful too!

Here's a movie to give you a visual of amazing climbers!


Til our next Hello,
