Members skinny mawkis Posted April 9, 2012 Members Share Posted April 9, 2012 Just wondering if there are any climbers on the boards. If so post your summer crags!! I'm hoping to hit this place up at least a few times: http://www.mountainproject.com/v/the-enchanted-tower/105797288 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and mma me while I'm near some rock and I will always escape bro No but it's not for everyone. I'm way too big to climb but I still enjoy it.

Members Weathered Posted April 9, 2012 Members Share Posted April 9, 2012 I climbed for a few years before I had some trouble with my joints that may or may not have been aggravated by climbing. I was more of a bouldering fiend, but never really got better than V2/V3-ish level. Belonged to an indoor gym where I would go once-twice a week to get a workout. I miss climbing from time to time - I might actually give it a shot again sometime in the near future - since I'm doing my MBA at the U of MN, and they have a rock gym, I can get in there for free.

I wish my university had a climbing wall(s) You should go for it though man. V2/V3 is where the climbs go from hard but satisfying to just plain retarded hard (like V5 and higher, especially outside), so that's a good level to climb at IMO.

I had a friend who could basically work a V4 in 2 or 3 tries - it was so disheartening to see him just fly around the wall. He also only weighed like 150 lbs, so that helped his cause....

I have been demoralized by a 100 lbs girl My excuse has always been that I am 6'3" and over 200 lbs though.... not exactly a climbers body.
