It is hard to describe what climbing actually means to me. I could give you some bullshit that its cool to send V15s or be the first up Everest. But its not true. Its not about the ratings. Its about how you challenge yourself to be better. With climbing there is always something more to be done, there is always another mountain. Why do I climb? The best way I can describe it is by taking a quote from the famous George Mallory; "Because its there"

Ice Climbing
Today might have been the last day of Ice Climbing till who knows when! But, I just wanted to share my experiences with it. I had a blast with everyone in my group. I, sometimes, wanted to kill a few of them but nevertheless it was amazing. It is so much more different than regular rock climbing. The feet are really strange. I havent got that part quite down yet, but with practice I will learn. I've already torn my pants like 4 times from my feet slipping. It sucks! Hahaha, but I had an amazing time and it was a blast. Those lock-offs have helped my strength too!! I am ready for the climbing season now, strong and pumped beyond belief!!
