Shoes for Rock Wall?

[sandinmypants]

I know we need to bring along socks for climbing the rock wall. What about shoes? I've searched on here and read that they provide shoes - so, it's like bowling where you wear "borrowed" shoes? Can you wear your own tennis shoes, or do you HAVE to wear the shoes they provide?

If my memory serves me correctly you wear the shoes they provide. I do not recall seeing anyone climb in their own shoes. Again... I think that is the case.

The shoes are special climbing shoes. If you want to climb, you have to wear the shoes they provide.

You must use shoe specifically made for climbing rock walls and useless you have your own you must wear their's to do this on board. A deodorant/disinfectant spray is applied by the staff after each use.

Yes, they give you climbing shoes that you must wear. I just did this last week and made it to the top! I wanted to quit halfway up, but they wouldn't let me down. ;)

Bring socks.

Both my DH and DS have done the rock climbing, and yes, they both had to wear the shoes provided by the ship. :)

Thanks - I guess that's the info I was afraid of! :eek: At least they spray them w/disinfectant.....
