Since the dawn of time, Americans have battled one constant enemy: rocks. The mineral-aggregates come in three, equally deadly varieties: Igneous, Metamorphic, and Dragonsbane.
Scientists blame rocks for the 1985 Rock Squashing of Richard Branson, the 1986 Toledo Avalanche that killed native son Jamie Farr, and the declining popularity of the Pledge of Allegiance. Luckily, Dallas Rocks uses its own faux-rock climbing walls, so Americans may finally experience the thrill of rock climbing without being flimflammed.

Today's Groupon gets you a four-day rock-climbing pass, a half-hour class with a skilled instructor, and all the equipment you need at Dallas Rocks, the biggest rock-climbing facility in town. With more than 14,000 square feet of faux-rock climbing terrain and the largest lead cave in the state (1,200 square feet), the set-up at Dallas Rocks will challenge novice climbers, expert scalers, and babies with better-than-average upper-body strength.
If you're new to rock-climbing or don't remember how to abseil and belay, don't worry about it. The expert, friendly staff at Dallas Rocks will teach everything you need to know to climb safely during the first-day's half-hour class.
Climbing in a rock gym is nothing like grappling the plywood-and-plastic climbing walls at a company picnic or scolding a child in a public setting. Rock-gym walls mimic the conditions of real rocks (faces, sharp angles, and varied holds included). Veteran climbers say rock climbing is sort of like training and running a marathon, but you get the adrenaline rush in shorter, more intensely concentrated spurts.
Indoor climbing is a great way for someone to get started, a perfect post-work exercise, or a climb-during-inclement-weather alternative for experienced climbers who want continuous practice. Best of all, this isn't a one-time deal. You get four days of climbing with this pass. That's plenty of time for a beginner to develop some real skills or an expert to fit in worthwhile practice. The four days are flexible: use them consecutively or spread them out over the year. You can even bring a friend and use one of your days as credit to get him or her in for free.
