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.)
