Rock Climbing?

[Krandall]

Anyone here do any rock climbing?

Getting back into it this summer and looking into my own gear (harness/shoes)


Anyone have any suggestions?

I've always wanted to get into that. We have a small wall at my school that only a few people can do and I did it. I've always wanted to try the real thng, but there's not much around here for that sorta thing

i got into it a bit a few years ago... the place around here was pretty good... i pretty much stuck with bouldering... never did get the harness... the bouldering was a good enough workout for me... i cant remember what shoes i bought but i didnt go for anything crazy...

i should go do it again... it was one hell of a full body work out

Did a bunch of gym climbing a couple years ago to help rehab my shoulder, and a bit of bouldering as well. Definately a good time. I have a pretty basic pair of La Sportivas I really like. I prefer the shoes that tie to the velcro personally

We have a local place called "Vertical Endeavors" and gonna get into it a bit more. It's tons of fun and a heck of a workout!

Get a good chalk bag, chalking up made a huge difference to me when I finally sprang for one.

the first week we did it, my hands had so many blisters from the bouldering.

Better to have blisters on his hands than the mouth ulcers you got eh Peelio

No rocks down here that are big enough to scale on...Highest altitude in FL is like 300ft

I went here a couple monthes ago.  It was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are some places to climb on the outside of the silos, they are crazy to drive by there on I-40 and see people on the side of this 90 ft silos.

I liked it but I am um heavy lol   so its hard

Just keep practicing pull-ups...I've seen guys lift themselves up even if they're 200-300 lbs. 400 though you might be pushing it...
