I Love Rock Climbing Stories of Experiences

You start your day early, the dew reflects off the grass. The temperature is a mix of cold and hot. Your rope almost feel's wet from over night. Your body is stiff, but as soon as you touch the rock, you loosen up. Kinks disappear...

I'm totally psyched to start at the indoor arena, and get some good practice in and hopefully get to a level where I can transition to some outdoor climbs.
Absolutely any advice on how to get started and how to move indoor to outdoor...

I've been climbing for years. Never the same experience twice!
I started climbing after I was hiking in Garden of the Gods one day, I saw some young boys on top of this Rock and I could hear them talking. Was the first time climbing for...

Iv been climbing for about 7 years now and never gets old! The cliff that we wanted to go up and poison ivy all over the easy ways to get up to set up our rope. I decided to free climb it and carry up some rope/webbing to secure the...

Ever since I was a little child, my dad took me rock climbing when we were on holiday. Out of all my friends, I was the only girl who could rock climb. It was the one thing I loved doing the most when we were on holiday and it is still...

I`ve been climbing for about 6 years on and off, and recently got back into it in my new town. I found a partner who is willing to progress with me and we head to the gym only once a week. The gym is an hour away, and in the middle of a...

HMMM... I am not sure what else to say about this. I don't get out as much as I used to, but I still enjoy the hell out of it when I get the chance!

I have been rocking climbing for approximately 7 years now and had no idea where it would lead. It all started innocently enough with hearing about an indoor climbing gym and a visit on a Saturday. At that point I knew rock climbing...

Yesterday, a beautiful day in the mid-80s with a breeze that picked up as the day wore on, we went to a popular local climbing area.  To our utter surprise, we had it completely to ourselves for almost 6 hours.  We had three...

I've only been climbing at a local indoor gym, but I love it. I love the workout, the sweat, the adrenaline, the bruises, the sore muscles, the calories burnt, the flappers, the stares from the guys as you kick their asses all the way...

I started climbing around easter time. its a shame the summers nearly over but I suppose the indoor walls are ok. I am really looking forward to climbing in Thailand at christmas! :) 

Nothing will make me happier than a 5 rope set up a side of a cliff (besides music)

Just started today; private training at a city rock gym in Houston. I'm in okay shape ... but I can't feel my hands. Am committing to go this place twice a week; work is prohibiting me from going more than that.

There is this 150 ft. rock that I love to climb at least ones a week. When ever I go I do it free climbing and bare foot. Well its December now and the rock is iced up, So you'd think I'd stay away from it. Well I'm...

This place beckons to the climber like a flame to a moth.  I had been before, but it was my first time since becoming a climber.  Rounding the bend to get my first view of the cookie, I had to stop right there for a bit and...

I'm so excited - tomorrow i'm going on a rock climbing camp for 2 days! i only started learning the basics less than two month ago, and made my first climb only 2 weeks ago.
i'm not a very sporty person normally - my cousins...
