Rock Climbing? - Page 2

[nini02]

I love climbing! I used to be a competitive climber at an indoor climbing gym in Wisconsin. I have done quite a bit of "real" outdoor climing too, in Wisconsin, Utah and Colorado. I would love to get back into it if I could find a climbing parter in this area. I can't wait to start teaching my son

OH, I can't believe I forgot to mention it yesterday! I finally managed to scale the sloped wall yesterday! It's taken me WEEKS, but I finally did it!!!

THat is awesome, mama! Isn't it such a great feeling when you finally get to the top of a climb that you've been working towards....

TBH, though, I've never really done much indoor climbing, although I have spent many a day trying the same bouldering problem over & over again...

Isn't it funny, how experiences of the same 'sport' can be so different.

And now I am more into running & swimming as a sport, & leave my DH to the climbing stuff. :

Yes! I haven't got access to much outdoor climbing here, so I have to work with what I've got. I'd have to take a day to do some real rocks and w/ 3 kids (including a nursling not yet 1 yr old) it would be too much! So we work with the indoor wall for now. Eventually I want to get them on real rocks w/ me.
