I have always had a curiosity towards rock climbing. When I first met my fiancé we decided to take a rock climbing class together and I will never forget it. We both had an interest in the sport and had never tried it before…
We took the class at Mount Hood Community College. Every Wednesday we had rock climbing class. When you first learn about the basics of rock climbing the first step is having all the correct gear. You have to be dressed in clothing that is tighter and good for a lot of movement in. I wore spandex shorts and a workout tank top and that worked great.
The next essential thing you have to have is a rock-climbing shoe. Rock climbing shoes are made to have a good grip and fit tight around your foot. After you have the proper clothing and foot wears it is time for you to get introduced to all of the proper rope equipment. I will not go into all of this information because it can be pretty confusing to describe!
I loved learning how to rock climb. We would climb a rock in the gym at the College and it was great practice before you attempt a real rock! We have still not tried to rock climb outside but maybe someday we will try it! If you have the same curiosity about rock climbing I recommend you look into taking a class J
