I want to get back into climbing.   Any other around here?

I'm just looking at quick outings..mostly bouldering.  I found a few areas at:

http://www.spadout.com/wiki/index.php/Austin,_Texas_Rock_Climbing#Bull_Creek_Boulders 

Your favorites from the list?

Anymore not listed?

I hear Enchanted Rock offers some good climbing.  Couple hours away though.

I've heard of folks climbing the cliffs above the Pedernalis where it meets the Colorado.  I think you can get to this area within pace bend park.

There is a climbing gym in Austin - they will know where to go.  There used to be a guy named Cody managing the place - if he is still there, talk to him - really good guy and knows where to go for climbing.

Thanks for the info guys!

I went to REI today and bought the minimal equipment, i.e.: shoes, harness and chalkbag. 

Also met a woman that worked there who knew the climbing spots.  I was surprised to hear that there were some good places out here by Lakeway?!   waytogo

Might try one of the spots tomorrow.

Hey I am a climber in austin.

I actually lived with three other climbers all who have/had monsters.  There is a lot of climbing in and around austin.  There is a group that meets at the Greenbelt on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.  There is also the North and South Austin rock gym.

I would go to REI and get the Austin Rock or Bouldering guides to start.  If you want to go bouldering just shoot me a PM and lets go!

i just made this video of some local bouldering check it out! 

The first two climbers had/have monsters.

Nice!!  Do you meet at Mings on Wed?  Tues/thurs climbing..Wed bike meet up..ride on the weekends!!  Life is good!!

I met a girl who climbs from the REI store up in Round Rock (an employee actually).  She told me about a few local areas that I have yet to check out.  I did find an area over off of 360/2222 at the off leash dog park.  A couple guys were bouldering there 2 weeks ago.  I don't know the name of the park??

I'll shoot you a PM with my number Vin.

Thanks for the link!!
