Central Rock Gym — Attraction in City of Syracuse

So this is the only gym around here. That being said is it good enough? Yes it’s good enough. It’s a big enough gym and it’s clean and whatnot. But one specific rule is really really irking me. I’ve been belay certified before, but just in case my buddy that climbs consistently wanted to make sure I remebered. After about 5 minutes or so of practice and a couple reminders I was as good as I thought I needed to be. The front desk staff said that because I practiced beforehand they couldn’t certify me permanently and also not even for the day. So we couldn’t belay at all because I practiced beforehand. On what planet is practicing not encouraged and allowed?

I was a little concerned as I’d never rock climbed before, but the belay instructor, Declan, was amazing. The hour long class just flew by- Declan took his time making sure everyone in the class was comfortable and understood the material.

Once we passed the class, we were let loose to go climb. We had an absolute blast. It was a challenge but so much fun that we went home that night and purchased our own climbing equipment. We can’t wait to go back to this gym! I would absolutely...
