Rise Up Climbing Gym
Rise Up is the relatively new climbing gym in Lynchburg with bouldering (some top-out), and a 40ft sport/top rope area. I went last week and was very impressed. Rise Up has the most compelling dedicated bouldering area that I have seen. The roped climbing section looks decent as well although I have not been on any of their routes. According to a staff member the route/problem complete turn over time is 6-8 weeks! The drive is ten or fifteen minutes less than the drive to Peak in Richmond and also not nearly as boring as 64E.
We meet at the side door of Echols at 5:30PM. Climb for about 3 hours. Return after close at 10 PM arriving back in Charlottesville between 11-1130.
You Provide: cash for the entry fee 9$ if we have more than 14, 11$ for 6-14 people, personal climbing/bouldering gear, snack.
Club Provides: gear if you need it, ride, gas money + 30% for drivers
