any ms members into climbing?

[xellsys]

hey there ms ppl

I was curious if any of you are into climbing?
Either performing youselves or just following the scene.

I myself dig the sport and do both. It's not even been 2 years now but I got hooked from the very first moment i set my hand on a hold. Since then I have been bouldering (for those who don't know: climbing without protection at low heights - up to 5m, especially short and intense routes) on a bi-weekly basis. Last summer I started lead climbing indoor, as well as outdoor.

I am so in love with this sport, I can't seem to get enough. So I was wondering if there's anyone on this board feeling the same

If not, just try it out!! You become highly ambitious
Plus it has a steep learning curve and one does quickly make big progress.

Chris Sharma is unbelievable. I have only gone to an indoor climbing wall once but I loved it as well... I had a really great time, i think I climbed like 6 walls that day, some were pretty advanced too. I want to get more into the sport definitely.

Alex Honnold was on 60 mins recently, that guy is not human. I hope he lives to be old, because he climbs like a total nutjob .

Thanks for posting this, there are alot of amazing moves on this video, but the move at 9:17 was probably my fav, he uses the wall for his footing, that's amazing.

There could be a 50% off or buy 1 get 1 free coupon online, you will want to bring a friend anyway to hold the rope. We had a ton of fun, I can't wait to go back, it really was a great experience.

^damn, that fall was scary. People don't realize how much strength it takes to climb that long, I can barely imagine. Now I'm itching to go back


this thing went viral years ago, this guy is certainly gifted
