To tell you the truth. I love climbing because its so fun to see how far you can get up the mountain before you become to tierd or the climb becomes to tough. It's also a thrill to know that you can be 50 feet up the side of a mountain and still be just as safe as if you were standing on the ground.

      When I climb, I usual just do a few 50-100 feet climbs. I would like to try some steeper and taller climbs but there just aren't any around here. There are some in Charlotte, N.C. That's where I stay over the summer. I am really excited about getting all the equpiment. It will take a little time and financial dedication to achieve this but I am starting to see the end of the tunnel.
