My mother & I were so tired of not having anything to do (or at least saying there wasn't anything to do), so one day we got super adventurous-feeing & looked into going rock climbing. 

Instead of taking on the actual mountains in the real outdoors with wild animals, slipping rocks, and ditzy women, we called an indoor location for our beginners course. 

They denied me the childrens rock-climbing wall, so I braved the might adult-wall & got all the way to the top. Maybe next time I'll dangle like a spider-monkey from the ceiling, but this was a good first-time accomplishment. Woo-hoo!

 

I rock climed in montana while i lived there 

My first rock climbing trip was years ago, but I remember being instantly intrigued. Since then I have worked in 4 different indoor rock climbing gyms and gone climbing outdoors in places like Seneca Rocks, WV.

 

My first outdoor rock climb was an amazing experience. I completed a 5.7, several 5.8s, and even a 5.10. Felt so accomplished when the weekend was over. 

I have had many a rock climbing adventure. One of my recent climbs was Grandfather Mountain, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. It was fantastic! On this particular morning, I was literally am it's the clouds on one side of the mountain and the sun on the other.

It's one of my favorite things to do ✨ I've gone outdoor climbing three times and I climb indoors almost every day!

 

I've been rock climbing twice now. It's so much fun if I had enough money to buy all the stuff and go all the time, I would. I mostly did beginner climbs at Enchanted Rock in San Antonio, and Reimer's Ranch right outside of Austin.

Route named- New Kids on the Block. 5.10d

Top Rope.

I was at Camp Mason in the 8th grade (October 2012). It wasn't anything crazy but it was really hard. The hardest part was trying to find a spot and realizing that if you left go you could fall. After trying to give up several times it was well worth it because the view was amazing at the top. And getting down was also fun!! I would love to go rock climbing again and this time it won't be terrified. 

 

Rock climbing is a fun activity, I would do indoor rock climbing in Bulgaria and I've also climbed real rocks.

 

One of the best sports I've participated in! Gonna keep doing it for sure.

best experience ever

 

I mean, many times but I'll say my favorite was doing Camelback mountain with Teji this winter 

 

 summer camp 2012/2013

i fell and scraped my butt since i was wearing shorts. never again.

 

So much fun! I had such a great time once I got over freaking out about the height, and soon I was racing up the walls and just dropping. Eventually I started free climbing.

So much fun! After the initial fear of heights (lasted about 5 minutes), I was racing to the top of the walls, and within two hours, I was free climbing (climbing without harness)!

I hated it

Rock climbing was not the best first experience for me. Cold, windy...and on the indoor walls, too high! I started when I was younger and a boy hadn't paid attention thus letting me free-fall about 5 feet until an instructor noticed and took control. Hoping that at some point in the future I will be able to return to climbing! However, I do still love a bit of bouldering.
