I went climbing with my friends for the first time ever the other day at a free outdoor rockwall and it was awesome. If I want to be able to go solo and autobelay I just need a harness and chalk/bag right? Because this shits hella fun.

tynam posted:Do you have pictures of the rockwall by any chance? I'm genuinely curious to see what people are able to climb barefoot. I don't. It's an artificial wall though and nothing too sharp/abrasive, it's just outdoors in a park. Fake edit - http://indoorwalls.com/listings/Scioto-Audubon-Metro-Park-Climbing-Wall

Irving posted:Coerce a friend into going if you can. Autobelay gets real boring real fast since you usually only have a few routes to choose from. You can boulder solo as well, and bouldering is like 90% social hour 10% climbing, so if you don't have climbing buddies already, you're sure to get some! Also, I have in the past just grabbed people on the auto belay and asked if they wanted to climb. Yeah, my friends already have all the gear so I don't need rope or the lead climbing stuff. I just want to be able to wander down there on my own sometimes when I feel like it and climb a wall. Once I can go up any of the walls I'll also have more money to throw at this. I always kind of wanted to try it it and I had a total blast. Edit- Tried some shoes at a local place. Clintonville Outfitters if any Ohio people hang out here. The guy was super helpful and now my big toes hurt just a tiny bit but that'll stretch. I climbed a bit on their little wall and could really feel the increased friction. Was instantly sold.

I've been slacking but yesterday I went for the first time in a couple weeks and made it to the top of a route I definitely had trouble with before. Yay! Then my friend taught me how to rappel and that was pretty fun but I think I need gloves. My belay device bit me a little.

Ravenfood posted:Anyone climb in the Columbus Ohio area? Looking for gym reviews and eventually nearby outdoor areas once I feel back in shape enough to do that. There's a free wall at the scioto audobon park that I've always liked. Haven't been to the various bouldering gyms but vertical adventures is pretty good.
