Reps: 10,855 (power: 25) | | I've done a little climbing with a rope and have done some fun bouldering.
I've free climbed much higher than I should have, but I'm still here so I guess it was OK.

We did some climbing on Pothole Dome and Lembert Dome. It was a blast, but I really haven't done any climbing since. |

When I was in high school they had a gym class where we did an entire unit on a ropes course...my high school had two rock climbing walls...and indoor and outdoor one (not real rock though). We also had other things like a vertical playscape, pirate's crossing, etc. It was fun...I would love to go climbing out on real rock sometime...

Reps: 407 (power: 0) | | | I grew up climbing all over rocks at the beach, and I love it. I'm not official, I've never even done anything with ropes or real cliffs, but I love climbing around on rock piles at the beach. It's one of my favorite things to do, even though I'm afraid of hights.

Go for it. It is challenging, but sooooo cool when you get to the top and actually realize that you've climbed this great big mound of rock that big truck drillers easily get through.
But totally changing the direction (no pun intended), I've only ever climbed a big rock once. Never done even the practice ones. But I just loooove absailing!
