Red Rock Climbing Center Review
Take a few steps inside the front door of the Powerhouse Climbing Center, and you're in climbing territory.
In fact, aside from the small reception/entrance area, the remainder of the building is used for climbing. In all, there is 9,000 square feet of actual climbing surface.
The center offers equipment rentals and a couple of climbing lessons. The basic introduction lesson teaches the fundamentals of climbing and equipment use. The lead climbing class is a bit more advanced. Personal instructors also are offered.
