So, your boyfriend ask you to join him in the caves? Do not be afraid, it is a safe cave.

your first time visit - you will be ask to sign waivers, basically saying that "be careful, you can fall and die ". Nothing that you have not heard before.

very laid back gym, they have no personal trainer that will show you around. its for your own to explore, which is few caves, tall walls for rope climbing and lead climbing. you will boulder in a cave, you go up and down to get your grove, or to warm up. If your friend is up to rope climbing on the 50 ft wall, that is fine.
Ask the front desk, they will show you how to tie rope properly, use the equipment properly. in the next 30 minutes, you climb high walls like a pro. Since you are slim & sexy, your boyfriend will be surprise how you can climb well.
Warning: pains in the next day, hands and shoulders. its normal.

if you go alone or with friends, take turns solving boulder patterns along the wall. it gives your hand a rest, and think about your moves.
