When your busy life has you climbing the walls, consider climbing a wall – for real.
You’ll be so focused on the task at hand that no thoughts of home, work or family can possibly find room in your head. You will experience true peace and quiet.
For this sublime experience, go to the Cleveland Rock Gym, 21200 St. Clair Ave.,
Building B3. First-timers must call for a reservation a week in advance, 216-692-3200, to make sure a staff member will be available to belay for you.
Belay: Your climbing partner exerts friction on the climbing rope when you are
not climbing, and removes the friction when you need more rope to climb. Ultimately, belaying keeps a falling climber from falling very far.

just what you need to jolt you off the walls.
