Start rock climbing

I need to start being active again, and this is a great way to get in shape. I used to go climbing when I was younger, and I really enjoyed it. My goal is to start going at least twice a week, and then start climbing real rocks outside when spring comes around again.

I’m well on my way with this goal, I’ve been climbing a few times with a friend I know who climbs and officially got the climbing bug. Im looking at joining a climbing club in the next few weeks, just so I can build up some experience. So far I’ve only climbed indoors and I’m wanted t get out in t the fresh air!!

I have done this when I was younger but never took it up again, so I have decided to pick it up again, just need to get my fitness up and i’m ready to go….i think

I spent a few years in Colorado and a big part of the whole Colorado/Rocky Mountain experience (in my opinion) is rock climbing. I only went 3 or 4 times but it was such a fantastic experience each time that I would recommend it to anyone. It is such a mind-clearing, adrenaline inducing thrill that anyone would be glad that they did it. Of course, keep safety in mind.

I shall be learning to rock climb at university.

Found a place for courses, Im going t ring them up and get an hour class for me and my brother see how this goes. Im pretty excited. Cant wait t do something abit different and something I want t do!

Need to buy all of the gear and take some clases

this week while at my grandparents cabin i saw a lif and remembered that the marines had tought me how to rapel so i got stupid and found a rope that would hold my weight, made a harness like i was tought out of another rope got some gloves and went for it. It felt great I think I finnaly found a way to be truley happy

Booked a course for 24 March… yes can’t wait. Not too much progress on the pecs and arms training but have 10 days now to really cane it.

Hope to meet some interesting people to, and some people to actually go climbing with!

Actually this goal won’t get kicked off for some time as am completely broke and I need to go on a course etc that will cost alot. So guess I’ll kick this off next month, in earnest.

However, in prep for the kick-off, I need to strengthen up arms & pecs and overall stamina… So guess I’ll be doing this. Tentative starting point: train relative muscles 3 times a week. To be better defined at a later date!
