The Pad

Finally had a chance to visit The Pad in Henderson.  It is the closest climbing gym in the area.  It has been WAY too many years since I have been climbing but I dug up my old harness and went.

It is a very big warehouse with lots of bouldering walls and a medium sized rope climbing wall.  They have 7 auto-belays.  They have a weight and excercise area along with some specialized climbing training items.  The staff is super helpful and the customers range in all ages and skill levels.

The walls are not as amazing as the wonderful Vertical Endeavors in MN but better than most gyms.

I need to really work on my hand / forearm strength and strength:weight ratio.  I need to be more like Magnus.

For 23$, it is not a bad way to spend an afternoon
