Although New Yorkers frequently boast that their city “has everything,” they must concede the lack of mountains. Enter the City Climbers Club: a small gym that fills the void with its giant, climbable rock walls, which perfectly simulate a mountainside. Founded and maintained as a nonprofit city program, the center offers instruction for all ages older than 7, and for every skill level. You and your youngest can try your hands (and feet) at this extreme sport in a safe environment and have fun in the process. If you’re a seasoned pro, it’s a great way to teach your children how to belay and rappel with little chance of accident. If you’re more of a spectator you can watch kids tire themselves out by literally climbing the walls while you kick back with a soft drink from the ubiquitous vending machines.
