It's definitely a workout. My fingers and hands are rather ooky because of it, but I enjoy it.

If there's a climbing area near you, you should give it a go!

Looks like so much fun and an awesome workout! I'm gonna look into it-seems much better than the usual humdrum workout routine.
You are so fit! Way to go!

It's definitely a workout. It wouldn't altogether replace a regular workout for most people, since I don't think most people would want to do it 3 or 4 times a week...but it's a VERY nice addition to an active lifestyle.

We went out to a local area today and spent the day defending ourselves from rabid mosquitoes and law enforcement officials.
My hands are actually throbbing from the beating they took over the day.

Yay!


I was mid lunge there.


HUGGY BEAR!!!


Dude. It's not bleeding but...awesome.


Um. Nothing witty to insert here. Sorry. :/

You are soooo brave! I've always wanted to try rock climbing, whether it's indoors or outdoors in nature, but I'm so afraid. I have a question though, it may come across as stupid so I apologize haha. The only thing that freaks me out about rock climbing are my hands getting scraped up. Like to me, having my hands on rocks while climbing would feel like my fingernails going down a chalkboard, know what I mean? I know, it's hard to describe! Like I feel it would give me cold chills. Do you ever get cold chills from climbing, with your hands scraping against hard rocks?

Sometimes.
Most of the time...actually.

But I like rope climbing as well. I need to start just training up, over all. Get stronger.

YOU...missy...need to come see me.

I love rock climbing... I don't do it... but I like the idea of it.
These are some awesome pics. You're definitely in awesome shape.
I'm trying to find a new method of working out that is actually fun and this could be it. Currently, I box so rock climbing could help with my upper body strength.
yay!
