The winter is a perfect time to climb inside. Heck– any time of the year is good to climb inside. But climbing outside is out of the picture since it's cold, snowy, and a little miserable outside right now (at least where I live in NY). So, if you want a fun indoor activity to try, like rock climbing, here are my recommendations.
- Wear comfortable clothing. You don't need crazy performance outerwear. Just be comfy
- Invite the whole family. Literally, everyone can climb, even Grandma
- Choose a gym with auto belays– auto belays are machines that let you explore "roped" climbs without the need for a belay
- Bring snacks and water. Rock climbing is a physical sport, so it's good to remain hydrated and well-fed
- Give yourself 1-3 hours of climb time
- HAVE FUN!

Two questions:
1. Do you need any special shoes for inside climbing? Even if they're not necessary, do you have any recommendations?
2. This is a weird question, but do I apply chalk on my hands when doing inside climbing?
