Does anyone else here rock climb?
If so, what kind do you do, and just talk about your exeprience, how good you are, if you like, etc...

I've done indoor rock climbing before.
I'm not good at it by any means.

I've done some indoor climbing, along with a few high ropes courses (Which isn't exactly rock climbing, but along the same lines.)
I actually really like rock climbing. The place that I usually go to is a lot of fun. Am I good? I don't know. I'm pretty strong for the size that I am, and I'm able to do the most difficult walls usually. Not always very quickly, but I don't give up.

I have done indoor rock climbing quite a few times, im not afraid of hrights and love the adrenaline rush. Im ok, depends on the type of handles there are on the wall, some are just really hard to grip. Sloped walls and overhangs bug me though, takes me a bit of time :P

Hey ive rocked climbed a few times, i prefer the realthing, i used to do it alot when i was training for a challenge called the Welsh 3000's, But yep i wouldn't say im good. once i start climbing slopes that lean backwards on me or i reach a huge overhang i cant be there for long ive got little forearm strength and if im hanging for around 30 seconds my arms ache too much and ill need to take a 5 minuet brake, so yep thats my experience, Good fun though

eh I don't know. first of all, I still have trouble belaying. I must be really weak because my partner couldn't climb. I KNOW it was all my fault. I couldn't take out all the slack. then when I went to climb, I struggled with the knotting. and I thought I had mastered that >_> ugh

Should be fun.

Yes, 2-5 times a week.
Indoor climbing at my work (55foot wall with 17 different top ropes to choose from)
I work at it and climb often, so I'm pretty good, just the archs are hard to do, and I'm sketched out after last time my friend wasn't paying attention and dropped me roughly 30-40feet before she caught me.
I love it, I think it's a great sport, wonderful exercise.
Beans you'll like it's really fun.

okay update. I managed to tie in.
But forget about my fear of heights. I can't even freaking lift myself up!!! It's like when I'm in the swimming pool; I can't lift myself out of the water. I have to use the steps or ladder thing to get out. the rock ledges thing were so tiny. how the hell was I supposed to place my foot on it? I was on a hard one though. >_>

might affect my grade in gym, but I generally do well...even though I'm bad at the stuff we do because my teacher knows I'm not that good at physical activities. I have rock climbing again today. dreading it >_<
