Climbing in a rock gym is nothing like grappling the plywood-and-plastic climbing walls at a company picnic or building a batting cage in your backyard. Rock-gym walls are covered with state-of-the-art textured products that mimic the conditions of real rocks (indentations, protrusions, overhangs, underhangs, and cracks included). Veteran climbers say rock climbing is sort of like training and running a marathon, but you get the adrenaline rush in shorter, more intensely concentrated spurts. In the Intro to Climbing lesson, learn all the basics you need to scale safely and enough knot-tying skills to impress an easily impressed sailor.
The adrenaline rush of rock climbing is beyond compare. As you climb the rock, you may play out fantasies in your imagination about the rock climbing you. As rock climbing enters your life, you may discover that you have trouble carrying out everyday tasks accurately, as you are unable to shift your consciousness away from rock climbing.
