6 Things You Didn't Know About Rock Climbing
Abby Nelson, Climbing Department Co-Director
Rock Climbing Add comments- Anybody can do it. You don't have to be super strong or be able to do even one pull-up. Take a lesson and learn how to be safe in about an hour.
- It's not dangerous. Rock climbing gear is made to hold hundreds of pounds; it can definitely hold you.
- Everyone is "afraid of heights." People assume that you can't be afraid as a climber, but I'm still petrified. You just get used to trusting your equipment and climbing partner.
- It's a great date idea! Teamwork and trust push couples to new limits rarely experienced over a dinner date. If you already know how to climb, it's very impressive and usually very sexy.
- Climbers are usually in good shape and pretty nice to look at. Don't worry if you aren't yet. Come climb and you'll get there.
- It's fun. There is always something to climb that will make you want to go to the gym. The same thing might not be true for running on a treadmill.
