I would rather take my chances buildering than go climb indoors (i.e. Slidell Rocks). Try the rush of climbing the South face of Stern! Hand jams at the bottom, stemming through the middle, and great 5.11 dyno at the top! Try to replicate that in a gym.

I have never been to the Slidell gym..I am assuming it sucks that much? Ever been to the one in Lafayette?
But yeah the most outdoor climbs we ever get is some buildering spots. Sucks to live on flat land!

I wouldn't say that the Slidell gym sucks It's just not great, ie. most of their top rope routes are not that well thought out (maybe one or two are good). The Laffy gym is really nice in my opinions, the walls are bit shorter, but the routes there are great.
However, nothing compares to the outdoors, to bad the nearest good stuff is around 9-10 hours.

Slidell Rocks needs a break. It's not that bad and it has a nice bouldering cave. Rok Haus is good, but 2 hours away. Horse Pens 40 is an outdoor bouldering mecca that's less than 7 hours.
