Ok. I was thinking of going by one of the large gyms while I was there. (not into ice yet). Which one is the best?

Not quite. If you remember old tampon commercials, you'll recall that with tampons you can go horseback riding, swimming, dancing, etc.

Vertical Reality is meh okay. Coyote is a better bet IMO.

Well, I ended up going to Vertical Reality for my first and last visit. I had to stand close as possible under the first bolt when lead belaying so I put as little outward pull as possible on the bolt. Are they are going to zipper or somethingTongue
