Anybody recommend a good gym to ARC - and otherwise train in? I see there are two - Rocks and Ropes, and BLOC, and am wondering which is better suited to the program.
We are often in Tucson and would love to be able to continue training here. Thanks.

I'm a Tucson local. The Bloc is a better choice for ARCing since it's basically one long 200ft wide wall that undulates from vertical to 30 degrees overhanging. It also tends to be less busy in the evenings than Rocks and Ropes, making traversing much easier for everyone involved. Rocks and Ropes in the evening is packed and you'll spend a lot of time hang out on one spot on the wall waiting for a climber to get high enough to safely traverse under them. There is also a weight room upstairs with a selection of free weights, cable machines as well as RPTC Hangboards (with pulleys) and other hangboards. Downstairs also has a campus board and two treadwalls.
