Being it was my first time ever rockclimbing, I must say yesterday was quite fun!!! I would definitely recommend rockclimbing to all people in the club to try it at least once! Here are some tips: use your feet more and use chalk! After a while my arms were sore from trying to pull so much. Your feet are what hold your weight and your basically stepping up the wall using your hands only to keep you from falling backwards. You got to trust you feet because they will stay even on the tiniest hold. Its a good idea to get chalk too because it gets hot in there, your hands get sweaty, and your fingers will start to hurt when gripping if you don't (at least for me they did).
I look forward to giving it a try again. I'll have to wait until I get another break from summer school to have time to go during the week! Thanks for everyone who showed up! You were great help giving tips. It was great just to be there, joke around, and have fun too!
If you want to come and just watch- your more than welcome. But I highly suggest trying it at least once, even if your afraid of heights because it's not that bad and you can boulder instead! Plus you get to wear tight shoes that make you feel like your doing Chinese foot binding and a harness that bunches your shorts up! It can't get much better than that!
