"I find that rock climbing is the finest, most healthiest sport in the whole world. It is much healthier than most; look at baseball, where 10 000 sit on their butts to watch a handful of players"
-John Salathé, 1974-
Man are we lucky?! We live near some really fun, friendly, and talented people. For Monday family night we joined a couple in our apartment complex for some outdoor climbing. The weather was perfect, the company was perfect and we rocked the socks off each climb (I, just a little more slowly than the others). It's so much nicer to climb outside rather than in the gym. Fresh air, more hand holds and the adventure of forging your own way up the side of the mountain. I'll take orange rock over purple/pink/neon-green route tape any day.
