It made me
exstatic! 
How I did it: Lessons are good from the standpoint of learning the proper knots and getting comfortable while on belay and on harness. From there, it's just a matter of doing it. You've got to build muscles you may or may not have used before. You'll learn different techniques as you go along, it's not complicated. Building up finger, hand and fore arm strength is crucial and will help you be a better climber able to tackle more challenging faces… Read how I did it…

How I did it: When I was about 10, my class decided to go for a rock climbing trip at a local business. I'm not particularly found of heights, so climbing up a rock wall wasn't my cup of tea. Read how I did it…

Climb on!
5 months ago
Got started when I went to the rockwall with a friend my sophomore year of college, wasn’t long before I was addicted to climbing. Started working at the the same rockwall teaching people how to belay and making sure they were safe and worked at the city adventure program leading rock climbing trips.
There’s no other feeling quite like leading a climb, working a problem or taking a fall. I am really happy at the thought of all the future climbs and areas to travel to for climbing. As of now I have climbed mainly throughout North Carolina, some in New River Gorge area and a little in Mexico. There are a lot of places still on my to climb list. Expanding on this goal to get more experience in aid climbing and one day big wall climbing.

from over-gripping. Nice class today, definitely got a workout. But honestly I was frustrated at my lack of strength, particularly in the hands/fingers.
Well, that which does not kill me, only makes me stronger :)

Thanks Molly, my dear.
I need to climb this mountain of mine instead of skidding down it on my arse.

Can you tell I am excited for class? 2.5 hours. The first part I think will be a repeat from the class I took a couple of weeks ago, but that’s OK.
Just looking forward to more climbing experience, and meeting some people who have similar interests.

I signed up for the six week course. I really am excited about this. Something new to do for both fitness and fun, on vacations, and in the indoor gym on a rainy day.
Class starts Wednesday!
