I've been trying to get one or two of the other (rock climber) Empeg meet attendee's interested in this, but no takers thus far.

Sounds like fun, but I am just wondering how hard it would be to go having no real climbing experience, just wall climbing and climbing short distances on smaller rocks.

Definitly let me know if you ever plan on going somewhere near Colorado Springs, as Garden of the Gods has always called to me since I wall climbed quite a bit a few years back.
