Looking for a great rock climbing experience without having to fine tune the details? I would suggest starting out at a great indoor rock climbing place called Hangar 18. Located in Upland, South Bay, and Riverside, Hangar 18 is one of the biggest rock climbing facilities in Southern California with up to 35,000 square feet of terrain to climb!

It is well known that rock climbing is a great way to stay in shape. Because you are pulling yourself up using both your upper body and legs, it is a great cardiovascular work out because it really gets your blood pumping. It is said that an hour of rock climbing can help you burn up to 400 calories! The best thing about it is it is a whole body work out. That means merely an hour of rock climbing will target your arms, legs, chest, and glut, and you can have fun while doing it.

Hangar 18 provides great classes for beginners and fierce competitions for more skilled climbers. It is a great place to celebrate a birthday or other event, as they have an observation deck where you can set up food, decorations, and non-alcoholic beverages that overlooks the entire gym. If you are looking for an outdoor experience, Hangar 18 also provides guided outdoor trips lasting anywhere from 2 to 8 hours, with skilled guides looking out for you with every huff and puff. Given their three major locations, there is bound to be a Hangar 18 near you—and in their words: don’t settle for anything less!
