Climbing Wall Reno Nevada|River Walk|The Cost Of Housing In The Downtown Area

The tallest artificial climbing wall offers 49.85 m (163 ft 6.5 in) of climbing experience along a 51.67-m-tall (169-ft 6.48-in) wall and is part of the BaseCamp Climbing Gym. The climbing wall is attached to the side of the 16-storey Whitney Peak Hotel in Reno, Nevada, USA, and opened on 1 October 2011. Climbers start at second-floor level and, when they reach the top, are a vertigo-inducing 57.3 m (188 ft) above Reno – the equivalent of four double-decker buses laid end-to-end.

The wall offers beginner- to expert-level routes, an IFSC-certified 15-m speed wall and multi-pitch climbing with two ledge-separated pitches for each 50-m route.

HISTORY OF THE RIVERWALK

THE BEGINING
Reno was established right next to the first bridge to cross the Truckee River in the late 1800s. By the mid-1900s, Reno had become famous for gaming & nightlife, and the river that ran through it took a back seat to the glitz and glamour of downtown. In the 1990s, the city created The Raymond I. Smith Truckee River Walk, which brought new attention to Reno’s scenic river corridor. Today, local merchants are proud to welcome you back to The Riverwalk District to celebrate the beautiful place where Reno began. Reno has long been known for its constant reinvention of itself since the beginning of the Comstock Lode, through the popular 1930s and 1940s gaming and divorce era. The area along the banks of the Truckee River has been home to some of the states most historical treasures.

REBIRTH OF THE RIVERWALK
Over time the area has been reestablished and renamed as the Riverwalk. The Riverwalk encompasses hotels, restaurants, entertainments venues and a lovely park built upon an island. Since the bustling years of the Comstock Lode and the early Divorce craze, Reno’s image along the banks of the Truckee river began to deteriorate and the once lovely areas around it began to suffer. In the mid-1990s Reno proposed to Redevelop the area along the river into the building of an official Riverwalk. Since this time, downtown Reno has undergone a steady revitalization of the area. Reno’s Riverwalk District is brought to you by the Riverwalk Merchants Association, a coalition of merchants dedicated to promoting a vibrant and safe downtown that offers unique shopping and entertainment in an area that celebrates Reno’s arts, culture, and history every day of the year.
