Recently Adventure Rock has gotten some blog press from a blog name USA Climbing Gyms.  Mr. Arthur seems to travel  a fair bit and seems to have a good take on climbing gyms.  The on caveat is that he seems a little bit of a boulderer.  I think he makes a real honest take on Adventure Rocks triumphs and pit falls. 

Here is a selection of what he has to say,
"This gym is really good compared to everything Illinois had to offer. It has pretty tall overhanging walls, topropping w/ auto-belays, 2 bouldering rooms, campus boards, hang boards, and my favorite aerobic device so far a revolving wall with variable speeds and angles. The gym also has a full pro shop for anything that you may be missing which includes: shoes, harnesses, biners, trad gear, ropes, guides, chalk, etc... There is also a subway inside the same building and a burger ice cream joint next door. The gym does not offer any other type of fitness devices such as tread mill, ellipticals, bikes, or weight benches. That's ok though since the moving wall and some good problems are all you need for aerobic and anarobic training".

If you would like to read more of this post go to USA Climbing Gyms.  Like most of our visitors to AR,  he didn't really like the water.  You can really blame him for that, it does smell like eggs.  I was a little disappointed to see that our climbers friendliness was only a 7 out of 10.   Looks like we have some room  to improve at making our guests feel more at home.  Overall we got a great review.

In The Spirit of Adventure,


Rockman
