Rock Climbing.

[vep]

So, we've seen a lot of sports treads. We have seen many different sports but so far, I have never seen a rock climbing thread.

So I'm keeping this short: what are your opinions on rock climbing? Be it sports climbing, bouldering, speed climbing, alpinism or anything else.

Is there anyone here who enjoys this sport except me?


And for those who are not in the climbing world, here's the latest "attraction":

It's something I would love to do if I wasn't so afraid of heights.

Think of it as a great way of getting rid of said fear

Yeah, but I get it really bad where my knee's kinda buckle and I cant move. Probably not a good thing if I'm climbing

I wouldn't mind trying it out. I think it's a fun thing to do and seems enjoyable and challenging at the same time, but I doubt I would ever try it out. I think I'd rather try sky diving.

I'm a pretty avid rock climber. Honestly it's my biggest passion right now. I wish I could just live in a van and drive around the country climbing in different areas all the time. I actually just got back from climbing at a local crag a little while ago. Led some sport 9's and 10's today and then worked on a 5.11a trad route on top rope. I don't have trad gear, so top roping it was the only option. Was a lot of fun though. The crux on it destroyed me.
