We are going to work out at Sender One today 8/20/2014! After 6pm. So come meet some of our rock climbing instructors and start becoming a part of the climbing community.

Tie-in and belay test required to get on ropes.

Bring your own rope if you are planning on leading, also requires passing a test if your first visit.

If you’ve never been to Sender One, here’s a few tips to get you started:

• Fill out their **Online Waiver ** before arrival for faster check in at the front desk.
• Get belay certified if you’ve climbed on ropes before. – Takes roughly 10 minutes by a Sender One instructor: Tie-in, safety checks, belay techniques, and communication call outs.
• Admission is $20 for an all day adult pass. $6 gear package rental (Shoes, Harness, & Chalk Bag) available if you don’t have your own stuff.

Next week, 8/27/2014 we are working out at Top Out Climbing Gym. Also after 6pm. Another great opportunity to meet our rock climbing instructors, mingle and meet new people.

They offer two types of climbing:

Auto-Belay 

An auto belay is an automated braking system that eliminates the need for human belayers (CLIP AND GO!). Our auto belay area is a less intimidating area that is perfect for kids and the beginning climber while still appealing to experienced climbers. Participants can climb without a partner and enjoy the thrill of climbing up to the ceiling on their very first visit.

Bouldering 

Our bouldering area is the heart and soul of the gym and is a sight to behold. Featuring a 100 foot long steep wall, a 20 foot high top out wall, and a 15 foot high freestanding boulder, our bouldering terrain has something to offer for anyone. All of our bouldering zones feature thick custom fit foam landing areas for superior safety and protection.

At Top Out, they are passionate about rock climbing. Their climbing routes and boulder problems are set by some of the best route setters in the world and offers some of the most diverse and exciting indoor rock climbing terrain in the nation. Their walls will challenge beginners and advanced climbers mentally and physically, and will leave you going home with a wonderful workout and a smile on your face.

Now a days there are many indoor possibilities for rock climbers. So not only you have the option to train, but you also have the comfort of having lighting at night, minimal or no approach and more. Regardless of these options, some still can’t find the time to train, stay in shape and enjoy the rock climbing sport overall. So what else can you do?

There is a saying, “where there is a will, there is away . . .”. That is something that we will apply to the alternative options available.

Find time to rock climb. We all know jobs are mentally and physically demanding. Being in good shape and finding a good balance between work and play are very important for our overall health. There is also the age factor, “you aren’t getting any younger . . .”, so when you keep postponing those things you love and make you happy for later on in life, you may not be able to enjoy them the same way.

There is another term we love to use, “YOLO – you only live once . . . “. We are not, by any means, saying you should be irresponsible. We are simply stating the fact that you only live once, and there are opportunities you will have that will never come around again.

If you work too many hours, find a gym close to your job. If you have kids, bring them with you or ask a friend to watch them for you (climbing is a family oriented activity). If you don’t have a climbing partner, go the extra mile to make new friends within the climbing community or join local climbing network groups (for example check out SoCal Mountaineers). Take a rock climbing class with us, we strives at making sure no climber is left behind. Bottom line is, you have options. The tricky part is, finding the one that works for your schedule.

Making the time to do healthy activities you love is important and good for your health. Your body and mind will Thank You.

Climb on and stay safe!

Things to do to make your summer outing more enjoyable:

• Find or make shade – yes, find it or make it. If you are going to the beach, bring a beach umbrella or canopy. You will find it so easy and relaxing to have the option to step under the sun for a few minutes and step right back under the shade. Bring a cooler with lots of cold treats and drinks, stay out there all day, bring games, beach chairs, towels, even a picnic blanket. Same for when you go anywhere else – camping, fishing. Find a tree, or bring your own shade.
• Stay hydrated – summer months call for margaritas and beer. Well, it is very easy to drink alcohol AND water! Water is vital for our daily lives, but during the summer months it is every more necessary than what we often think. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Not all at once, don’t try to play catch-up because you didn’t drink enough all day. It is best to drink a glass here and there throughout the day, whenever possible. Water is key. I am drinking a glass while I am typing this.
• Sunscreen – so many people think sun screen is only for the beach. Well, not these days! Now a days it is important to use a light base sunscreen even if you are just going to the grocery store. If you plan a day out, and you know you will be exposed to the sun, then put some on before you leave home. Re-apply throughout the day. Sunscreen doesn’t last forever, so if you have a moment to reapply your sunscreen throughout the day, do it.
• Sun hats and sunglasses – when you squint you speed up the process of getting wrinkles around your eyes! So if you want to keep your facial skin looking young, get yourself a pair of sunglasses. A baseball cap or sun hats work great for being outdoors. Ball caps usually protect your eyes and sun hats protect your entire face, plus your neck.
• Let your body acclimate to the area – don’t blast your car’s a/c at 68 degrees while driving to a place you know is going to be hotter than the Sahara desert. Allowing your body to gradually change temperatures is way more comfortable than the “shock factor”.

It is really not that difficult to find better ways to avoid the summer heat while being outside. So if you want to get out, find ways to stay cool this summer, don’t let the heat stop you, don’t let it win the battle, make the best out of your day in combination with these tips and have a wonderful time outside.
