The place where I live hardly has cold weather, let alone snow or ice. So it’s only rock climb that I’m learning to do. Having seen many climbers working their way higher on the cliff at a beach on my vacation made me wonder how fun that was. I finally tried it by taking a 3-day course at one of the climbing shops there. I’ve found out that I love it even though I still cannot do a good job. Still struggling at 5’s (French). Maybe because I started a little too old.
Anyway, reading about different things on this climber's board from across the ocean is pretty fun. Most of the climbing routes at the place I go to climb have been bolted.. quite permanently, and need to be rebolted once in a while.
