Parts of it can be salvaged...I think...

Why? we are all 19
I did my lead test at Rockheads last weekend, no worries. I don't think I'll be hitting Rockheads until MAYBE Feb. No monies.
Speaking of which I think my gravity one is done soon too.

What goes into the price at a climbing gym? Why does it cost so much? Even if you don't rent any gear it's still fairly expensive, it'd be nice if a rockclimbing.com membership could get us discounts at places like gravity and joe rockheads.

Well in the cost of running the gym you have paying your staff, insurance, utilities, and other incidentals. Climbing gym prices really aren't that high comparatively to other pay per use sports.
Considering a day pass is $10 - $15 (CDN), lets compare it to golf or skiing. Golf can range from $30 - $300 (CDN) per game. A day pass of skiing is now minimum $20 - 30 (CDN).
Now I realize the cost of running a golf course or a ski hill is way higher than a climbing gym. But, you are getting the same amount of activity time so that's one way to look at it.
It would be nice if there was some sort of rockclimbing.com members discount but, I really don't feel that I'm getting ripped off from climbing gyms. Anyway it is the same price as a movie.

If you climb at a particular gym quite often then it cost very little with a membership. If you only visit a certain gym every once in a while, the $15 per visit isn't too bad. It costs most people more to see a two hour movie than it does for around five hours of cranking some hard core plastic.

Memberships are for sure the best way to go if you hit the gym alot. When I got mine I figured out how much I would be paying without and there is a really big difference. To add to Kris's point a movie may suck and you may lose 2 hours of you life. Climbing is what you make of it.
