What is a Pub Climb?

You might know about pub runs, but have you been to a pub climb?

The format is a lot like some of the weekly running groups, only for rock climbers — and it is indoors.

And there’s a new opportunity to climb with others and enjoy a social gathering every other week at The River Rock Climbing Gym. Here’s how it works:

• Meet at The River Rock at 7 p.m. for an hour of climbing ($10 pass and all gear is included).
• After the climb, head next door to Wasena City Tap Room for a beverage with other climbers and other tasty specials.
• Pub climbs are on the first and third Tuesday of each month.

What’s nice about the pub climb is that it offers a great opportunity for beginners to learn the ropes and how to start climbing. You don’t need any experience and the climb is suitable for all ages.

The River Rock says remember this: Climb first, beer later.
