can you indoor wall climb by yourself?

Question

i know usually there is someone down at the bottom holding you from falling but is there any way that you could do that by yourself so you wouldn't need a partner all the time?...gets annoying sometimes doesn't it?

i've seen it done outside but not inside. couldn't you just give yourself more rope if you needed it and suspend from the ceiling?


and uh...about that "hot asian chick" comment. i am asian and - i.am.a.chick. i'd consider myself average though...not hot. and i tend not to get along with other asian girls.

Answer 1

You always need a spotter, unless you want to fall and break your neck.

Answer 2

you should always climb with a buddy, but if you are lead climbing or practicing certain techniques you can learn belay (bottom guy) yourself. take a class at your local gym! you might even meet some hot asian chicks or something. but be careful, sometimes those girls dont shave their pits.

Answer 3

i doubt most climbing walls will let you do this, but it you learn to tie a prussix knot, you can self arrest/protect yourself going up a rope (only if you are on top rope).

most indoor walls have a bouldering area, though and it is much safer....

Answer 4

If you go to a rock-climbing gym you don't need a partner. I did it by myself all the time.

Answer 5

Depends on how much Velcro you have on hand.
