Rock Climbing
So, recently I've been into rock climbing. I'm not very good, really just a beginner, but my friend John is a good climber and he's been my partner at the rock gym. Anyway, there are different degrees of difficulty for climbing: 5.1 being the easiest 5.14 being the most difficult. Well, today I did my first 5.7. It's not that big a deal since I'm just starting out and 5.7 is what you can climb if you've just gotten a handle on everything, but I think of it as an accomplishment. http://www.14ers.com/classes.html here's an interesting little blurb on the degrees of difficulty for climbing/hiking. I can't wait to get the nice chiseled climbers back. It's muy sexy.

That's pretty cool. My buddies and I used to rock climb in Plainville CT during high school. I don't think I would be able to do it anymore because I have 14 screws and a plate in my left elbow. I think I would be too scared of it falling apart if I put too much weight on it. |

You'd probably be able to do the lighter stuff, because you don't put too much strain on your arms. But if it's 5.10+ or higher I wouldn't do it. |

I love hiking but never realy got into rock climbing, depending on my job in the Air Force I might have to take it up. I hiked Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, I think they said it's the talles peak in New England. I loved, the view was awsome and the trails were great too. |
