CLIMBING: THE UPRISING SPORT

""Adventure may hurt you, but monotony will kill you."- Unknown;

There are many ways to get involved in Oklahoma City. In the OKC metro area there is a gym called "Climb Up" right by Bricktown. This gym is very good for top rope climbing which is when you have someone belaying you at the bottom and the rope goes all the way to the top. There is another Climb Up that is in Norman. This gym is very good for bouldering and top rope. Bouldering is when you have no ropes but there is a pad under you and you do not climb as high. These are both very fun forms of climbing. Another gym is about to come to Oklahoma called "Threshold". This is very exciting news for Oklahoman climbers because it is supposed to be one of the best gyms on this side of the country.
