I think climbing is less a sport and more a hobby, and as such, I think everybody's a beginning climber.
I want to solve a climbing problem in the mountains, not in the sporting goods store.
I remember when I started climbing more seriously. That was when I was six years old.
It lasted but a year of two, till all the routes were done. The pace so fast that most forgot that climbing could be fun.
I’ve heard the expression climbing walls, but I never thought I’d experience it, let alone like that,” she murmured, her mouth curling into what was probably a dreamy smile.
I have climbed Everest from the Nepal route and the China route. The other routes are too hard for me. So I don't think I can climb Everest again.
I actually just rock-climbed when I was away on vacation and now I'm searching out rock climbing gyms. That's my new obsession for 2013.
I think it's great that so many people are enjoying climbing. I've always loved climbing; I don't see why other people wouldn't enjoy it just as much. As long as everyone does their best to respect the areas in which they're climbing, I don't see how the growth of the sport could be a bad thing.
