Climbing Indoors

Complete Set of Photos

Because it has been cold, cloudy, rainy weather the past two Wednesdays, the climbing club from the university has gone to an indoor climbing hall. It's located in Korb, a small town to the north of Stuttgart. We still carpool there because it's not on an S-Bahn route. Now that I have some climbing shoes (I had to ride the S-Bahn for 40 minutes, then ride my bike 2km to the store!), it's much easier to climb.

The wall I'm on to the left is for bouldering (it's only about 10 feet tall). There's a little electric controller thing you get that when you push the "next" button, a light will light up on the well next to the hold you have to grab next. It was pretty neat, but also difficult because you have to grab a specific hold!

Here's a picture of the main room with 15m walls (50 feet or so). There's also Gero, one of my German climbing partners.
