Hi guys,

I just moved to Chicago a few weeks ago and I would really like to do some rock climbing around this area - indoor or outdoor.

I found "Climb On", a in indoor rock climbing gym in Homewood, Illinois, about an hour 40 minutes from Chicago. Does anyone have experience with that gym?

I am actually looking for company, as I do not know anybody here that likes to climb. I've got some years of experience, but haven't been climbing for a while.
So maybe anyone knows a goods spot or maybe I can join anyone of you for a day.

There's a really nice wall in the Joliet area at a Lifetime Fitness - google it to find which one, and also another a bit south in Bloomington called Upper Limits. Upper Limits is an old farm converted to an absolutely amazing facility. You should check out both, you'll thank me later for sure as I've spent a lot of time at both of those and I live nowhere near them. Totally worth the trip every time.

Hi Rocket, thanks for the info. Upper Limits looks great. Unfortunately both are pretty far, but it would be just perfect for a day trip on the weekends.
If I can ever join you guys let me know, I don't want to climb alone ;-)
