Outback Climbing Center

this place was fun! how can rock climbing not be fun and entertaining? notice how i said ‘fun’ and not GREAT AND FANTASTIC! haha.
well, the sport itself is just very enjoyable. but the reasons why i gave this a 3-​star are:
1. the walls are shorter. i believe they’re somewhere from 20 feet. that is very short. you basically feel as though you took 4 – 5 steps and BAM! you’ve reached the top.
2. this place is run by volunteers. so it’s not always a guarantee that the climbing center will open, or that it will be open on time.
the pluses? WELL…
1. so cheap!!! only $ 9.00 for all the gear and climbing for the day (but really you’ll probably only stay 1-​hour before your grip gives out). this is regular price i believe. not just a student price.
2. they teach you to how belay! so bring a friend! it’s pretty easy, man.
3. the walls are short, but they’re not that easy. most of them do that forward slant/​tilt thing so you really need to muster up all your strength just to hold on.
if you’re just beginning rock climbing its not a bad place, because it’s still challenging enough. and being that its 50% cheaper then other places in san diego, big plus!
i think i’ll be back soon. yep.
