Rock Climbing -

[MicroEZ]

Does anyone enjoy rock climbing?

I started fairly recently and I'm having a lot of fun with it. I try to go as often as I can, usually once every other day, but I've been kinda falling behind on it.

I always wanted to try it. Do you have any tips for anyone looking to get into the sport?

I have not gone rock climbing, but I have gone caving (spelunking for all you nerds) which involved a bit of rock climbing. It's fun, but I always seem to get hurt in the most random ways, like tripping over someone's flashlight and bruising my jawbone.

Caving sounds terrifying to be honest, and to think of the small crawl spaces people are ok with getting into.

No, it's really fun, as long as you go with a lot of other people. My cave pals and I went to an underground hot spring, it was the neatest thing. And it was right in our homestate, barely a half hour away! It's amazing what lurks below surface of places you thought you knew!

Although I did loose a really nice hiking boot in there which set me back about 60 dollars, so that was kind of a bummer. Climbing back with a sock-foot was even less fun.

used to climb (lived in Co at the time, so it as everywhere)
Not a whole lot for pulling plastic
