Rock Climbing
I've been gym-climbing for a couple of years now and I'm finally ready to climb outdoors. It's a lot different: more dangerous, more gorgeous, less people, and the routes aren't marked!
Follow along with my trip reports or email me if you're interested in hooking up and climbing something together. Sandbags only, please.
