Indoor Rock Climbing

Hi,

Tonight we steel-hearted studs set out to scale some steep summits.
Well, okay, indoors. We have a somewhat regular team - Dipanjan, Kathy,
self, and room for a circulating bunch of enterprising expermentalists.

About indoor rock climbing: In order of descending importance:

* Awesome scenery (wink wink). Plenty also for women to watch and woo.

* Tuesdays are half-price for students, so for $9, you get all the
  equipment (harness, climbing shoes, bag of chalk), a beginners'
  lesson, and unlimited climbing time.

* Completely safe - you fall, but never more than two inches. Rope.

* Excellent workout. Muscles involuntarily shake after two hours. That
  is, assuming you want to strain yourself. Full range of difficulty --
  from very simple that anyone can climb (and I *mean* anyone, with a
  history of certain anonymous round, small, heavy, feminine folk) to
  ones scaled only by professionals with biceps thick as my thighs.

* Fun. We keep going back (my ~10th time). http://www.texrockgym.com/

Try it out........ (email me, and I'll coordinate rides.)
