Today's side deal will have you scampering up the drywall in a frisson of excitement: for $16, you get one day of unlimited climbing, gear rental, and an intro class at Rocks & Ropes of Tucson (a $30 value). Climbers under 18 must have a legal waiver signed by a guardian and all climbers must sign a legal waiver.

Your membership at Rocks and Ropes' Armory Park location includes all-day admission to the man-made mountains, as well as equipment rental (shoes, harness, helmet, tiara) and an intro class in finger grips and proper foot placement. The colorful and expansive climbatorium boasts a main area with 50 top ropes and enough routes to satisfy climbers of every level, a dedicated lead cave, and a range of walls, from straight vertical walls to 45-degree overhangs.

• Maybe you’ve seen Cliffhanger too many times, or perhaps you’re just one of those folks who started scaling whatever was handy while you were still in your crib. Either way, from toddlers to seniors, Rocks and Ropes can help you get your climb on. Beginners can learn the intricacies of the equipment and practice on their “rock walls” with trained professionals. – Tucson Lifestyle
