Outdoors Sports: Rock Climbing |
| 1/1/2010 11:32:53 PM |

I love rock climbing. It's one of my favorite outdoors sports. I enjoy climbing indoors, but there's something fun about going outdoors and into nature. My friends and I often have to hike a few hours to find the perfect climbing spot, but it's all worth it.
I enjoy going climbing with friends because it's such a great way to bond. I can have the deepest conversations with friends during rest time between climbs. Sometimes, we camp overnight next to our favorite climbing spot. This is a great time to tell ghost stories and eat s'mores. In the morning we're grateful to easily continue one of our favorite outdoors sports.
I personally prefer going bouldering. This is a branch of rock climbing that involves short climbs. People are usually shocked when I tell them that bouldering doesn't require rope. However, for safety precautions, it's best to have a couple of crash pads and a friend who can "spot" you.
Outdoors sports are a great way to become one with nature and get some good exercise at the same time. I know I'll be a climber for life.
