Very extra here, but i shall help promote Taiwan climbing. Here are the 3 'climbing trips' i made in Taiwan.

1st up, Keepon Climbing and Camping Store Basement Gym. Near Hsimen MRT station. Had a hard time finding this one as it moved to a new location a few streets away.

Three meters tall, 90 sq. meter gym situated in the basement of the 'Keepon' climbing store. One side of wall is -5 inclines and another small section - 35. Intermediate ceiling workout. The owner is Mr. Tsai, a kind middle aged man who usually minds the store. Officially he charges NT 100 per use and NT 500 per annum. A good, home-like gym with all sorts of holds, both commercial and homemade, and is excellent for setting traverse problems. Opened from 12 noon to 10 pm everyday except on holidays and Wednesday nights after 7 pm. Air-conditioned. Tel: 02 2311 5438, always call before going.
