Berkeley Ironworks

Hundreds of people pass through the doors of Berkeley Ironworks Indoor Rock Climbing and Fitness Club each day.  The place is colorful and teeming with activity.  Thanks to Lyn, Ben and the rest of the staff for welcoming us to have this sketching adventure.

Climbing (or not) in Berkeley

Berkeley Ironworks Climbing & Fitness Gym is in a giant old industrial building. They have a 45 foot lead wall, 14,000 square feet of climbing terrain, 2,500 square feet of bouldering and 100 top & lead ropes. What that means for our sketch group is that there were hundreds of climbers all over the walls! It was a figure drawing paradise! The staff and climbers were very friendly and happy to explain techniques and equipment to us. It was great fun to watch and sketch but I think I will be staying on the ground.
