Climbed at the local gym

[dagibbs]

I found the local climbing gym here in Huntsville. It is quite small, and attached to a "family fitness center". Not a lot of routes, but most of the climbers I saw there seemed to be pretty serious about their climbing and while their routes were not rated, they mostly seemed to be pretty tough, as were almost all of the boulder problems set up.

They have one page at the family fitness centre site - http://www.familyfitness.com/rockclimbing.html - and a dead link on that page that supposed points to more. Still, it was good to get out and I should be getting out again on Wednesday or Thursday. I climbed a bit with two people at the gym, and a bit later with a guy from the class I'm teaching.

Oh, and my hands hurt. They make up for the small size by having a lot of overhanging routes so you get worn out a lot more.

I LOVE HUNTSVILLE.
My grandparents have a cottage near there, and my aunt and uncle and cousins actually live up there now.

I didn't know anyone knew anyone in this area.
