How to rock climb
It made me
Adventurous
 How I did it: My friend adam (who apparently has a repertoire of skills) took my friend clay and I to the rock climbing rec at our school. I definitely was intrigued and even though I didn't make it up the first few tries I did make it up in the end. :) My hands got blister-y, but it was worth it. Thursday's are now rock climbing night!!!! Lessons & tips: get CHALK!!! my hands are small and fragile so they hurt very easily. Resources: someone who knows what they are doing |

How I did it: I was at the local fair. They had a rock wall there you could climb for $5 as many times as you wanted in one turn. I didn't realize there was an easy medium and hard side. I did the medium side first and didn't make it all the way up to the buzzer. If I'd been strong enough to hang on for another minute I could've done it. Now this is the embarressing part, I was scared to go back down. They said to jump away from the wall and keep my fe… Read how I did it…

How I did it: You just have to go somewhere you can climb, get some to help with the harness and holding the rope and everything, and climb, it may be hard while you're doing it, but the way down is sure a lot of fun! Read how I did it…

How I did it: i walked in to a bass pro shop and told my uncle that wanted to climb the climbing wall so he paid the $4.00 and i got in line and waited like 30mins and when it was my turn i got like 60% the way there and my shoes were to big to get on the next foothold and I feel so bad because I told my cousin that I wouldn't give-up and I did.But was so fun I would so do it again!

How I did it: I went to the Red in Kentucky with 3 of my best friends. We stayed at Miguel's Pizza, a popular camping spot for climbers, where we met a bunch of hippies. It was awesome. Two of my friends are avid climbers so they had all the equipment we needed. We just belayed each other. Read how I did it…

I convinced my sister & two of her housemates to go to an indoor climbing gym today. It was so much fun! (I am going to be so sore tomorrow.)
Unfortunately I won’t have a chance to go with them again before I go home, and I don’t think I can find anyone at home to go with me. One of my friends works at a rock gym near where I go to school, but I don’t think I’ll have time to go regularly because of rugby.
But we’ll see how it works out. This’d be good for me, because upper-body strength is what I really need to work on the most.

I have done this many times in the past, but not since high school. I’d like to start again and progress to doing more outdoor climbing.

I’ve been a bunch of times. I started going when I was really young. You really just need to set aside time to do it. Really uplifting to say “yeh i climbed that and made it to the top.” Repelling is just as fun. Don’t go to a gym, go outside it’s 10 times better

My boyfriend is moving to a place quite near the rock gym I would go to when i climb, which is rare these days. Hopefully proximity (and a possible climbing partner) will make me/us go more often.
One of the most satisfying physical activities

Scariest / most reckless climb I ever did was up the side of a 50 ft. waterfall. Why did I do it? To look down from the top!
