may have tougher, more interesting climbs. it also may have (by which i mean, of course, "does have") that funky-cool monkeybar thingy. it may have tightropes and climbing ropes and all sorts of fancy architecture. but what really makes it shine: it's got kettlebells!

i took a couple for a swing and showed rictor/veg some of the basics. after i managed to convince him that the bell moves by thrusting the hips like a gesturing duff-man, i showed off a little and snatched their heaviest bell, which, sadly, was only a 50, so i didn't feel like i was showing off.

heh.

i'm only used to 24, 32, and something nuts like 72. they've got more than a full complement, enough to do double snatches, double cleans, double anythings. i'm used to snatching heavier than 50, but i'm not used to doing double anythings, so that may be something to enjoy next time. a couple minutes with the bells at the end of the night is enough to turn a PG visit into an actual "workout".

which i rather need.
