I'm thinking about trying an indoor climbing gym. We have a local-ish (within 20 minutes) gym that has a womens night with an hour of instruction (topic of the week sort of thing) and 2-hour newb class (I think there's a co-ed and womens version). They do provide equipment for the first class. I'll probably try to find a buddy, but my buddies are kind of limited these days...

I'm not so set on outdoor climbing. I'm afraid of heights, for one, and it's proportional to my amount of control over the situation. Thankfully, indoor climbing is pretty well controlled, and obviously somewhat limited.

Anyone else out there climb? Anything I should look for or look out for?
