Chicago's Super Challenging Rock Climbing Gym | First Ascent 🧗‍♀️

Today after work, I went to the rock climbing gym right downstairs from my apartment with a coworker. Yes, right downstairs! I’ve lived here for over a year and never visited. Hahaha 😅 It was my first time rock climbing, and it was surprisingly fun! This climbing gym is huge and offers routes of various difficulty levels. - The yellow routes 🟨 are the easiest and perfect for beginners. - The purple 🟪 and black ⬛️ routes are super challenging and really test your arm strength and balance. Rock climbing is mostly about overcoming the fear of falling. But don’t worry, falling doesn’t hurt at all because there are air cushions below. 🛡️ The gym also has a fitness area with all kinds of equipment. If you’re a first-time visitor, you can get a recommendation from a member to avoid buying a ticket. A monthly membership costs $85, or you can purchase a one-day pass for $20. 💰 This climbing gym is definitely a great place for friends who love challenges. It’s a fun and non-boring way to exercise! 🌟 If you liked my recommendation, don’t forget to like, follow, and save this post so I can take you on more adventures around Chicago! 💋 #WhereToGoOnWeekends
