b'ham Y

[danhelmstadter]

i take showers at the Y when i can (cause it's the only place near the ham) and i walk by the climbing wall everytime. it looks pretty fun. they say you need to get a belayer cert (15$) and then a membership(30$monthly) or a day pass (10$ vs. the 1$ i pay for the shower pass)

 

anyone climb at the Y? do you have a ymca grant/scholorship? they say you need to fill out a fat packet, then wait. 30$ is reasonable, but still spendy.

 

i stopped climbing ever since i fell off an old granite resivour building

(into a marsh) 10 or more years ago on a cold day when my mind was less than clear.
