Today started out with a tour of the world class climbing gym across the street from Harrahs in the Whitney Peak Hotel called Base Camp which can be found HERE<\/strong><\/a>. After this ride up the escalator:<\/span><\/p>\n

I toured their indoor and outdoor \u00a0facility. The climbing wall outside has one tier that goes up as high as 160 feet, the highest in the world, and looks down on the famous Reno Arch! As for what they have under a roof, occupying the entire second floor of the Whitney Peak Hotel\u00a0there are kids climbing\u00a0walls with thick\u00a0padded mats. In addition, there is\u00a0a \u00a0medium size exercise room with machines, mirrors and a \u00a0small assortment of free weights and cardiovascular equipment. They have a sauna, changing rooms and showers. All open to the public for reasonable monthly fees.<\/span><\/p>\n
