It's official: The kids are climbers. (Now how do I get them off the wall and on real rock?)

Nice shoes, huh?
Don't worry. She has real climbing shoes now.
We've made the arduous journey to our local park and its climbing wall a handful of times. The kids know that all they need to do is suggest an after-work session and we can get there and home before dark. It's worked out really well and they're digging it.
So the real question is... How do I get them off that wall and onto some real rock? After all, it's starting to feel a little misleading to call this one 32 foot high rock wall an adventure.
There are plenty of bolted routes around us and the rock's finally drying out. The hikes to these areas are short and I'd wind up carrying all the gear. (Duh.) So seriously, how do you transition from a familiar climbing wall to an actual bit of rock?
Seriously. Tell me how.
