Thank you to everyone who has responded already. To everyone else, if you
want to go, let me know by Sunday night.
I copied the original email below.

Hi all,
Who says there's no elevation in Central Illinois?! Its here, but just
man-made.
October 12th I'll be going over to Upper Limits in Bloomington, an indoor wall
climbing facility. This is supposedly 'the' place for climbing in Illinois,
and bound to be a great time. If you are interested in this event but can't
make it Oct 12th, please let me know.
For BEGINNERS (which is myself included): We can have a group Climbing 101
class. The more people go the cheaper it is, with a max of 15. First come,
first serve so email me asap if you're interested. If we get 15 people
together, the cost will be $25 and will include rentals, a day pass, and two
hour instruction.
For NON-BEGINNERS: Anyone can boulder around the base (I think), but if you
plan to belay, you must be tested first. This 'initiation' is $5, and is a one
time fee. A weekend daily pass is $12.50.
The class starts at 4:00 so I'd like to leave no later than 3:00 pm. I can fit
3 other people in my car, and since I don't like to strap people to the roof
I'd much appreciate anyone else who can drive. Let me know your
driving-ability status when you reply to this email. The gym closes at 10:00
pm on Saturday. I plan to work out the finer details of when to leave once I
know who's coming and what their schedules are.
