Who says the rainy season can stop you from enjoying various recreational activities in the Philippines? Rock climbing at different indoor sites in Manila and other cities across the archipelago is available all year-round. Though the sport is relatively young in the country, rock climbing is continuously gaining more popularity over the past few years. Its challenging cliffs and its availability, in the case of indoor rock climbing, appeal to younger generations and the young at heart.

There are many areas in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao offering thrilling rock climbing adventures. However, only a handful of climbing sites have been developed so far. In the onset of the wet season, it is practical to talk about indoor or artificial rock climbing. Sports facilities, gymnasiums, and even shopping malls are adding rock climbing to promote their craft.

Here are some of the recommended indoor rock climbing destinations in the Philippines.

Metro Manila
The busy life in Metro Manila has given way to ...
... the construction of several indoor climbing sites in the metro. These are Power Up Gym in Quezon City, Planet Rock in Makati, Gravity Gym in Parañaque, and Camp Sandugo in Taguig.

Boracay Island
Doing non-water recreational activities is also possible in the island paradise of Boracay. After soaking into the crystal-clear water of the white sand beach, flex your muscles and go rock climbing at D'Wall Climbing Gym. It is located at D'Mall near Boat Station 2.

Lumban, Laguna
The Caliraya Recreation Center in Lumban has facilities for fun-filled activities. Aside from kayaking, zorbing, and skiing, this world-class property is also an ideal place for rock climbing. It is home to the largest fiber glass wall in the Philippines.

Marikina
Aside from being the Shoe Capital of the Philippines, Marikina is also making a name in rock climbing.
