Any Rock Climbers Here? (indoor outdoor)

[Kona9]

Hey Beyonders. Just seeing how many climbers there are on Beyond.

I myself am a newbie, but have been to Stronghold a few times with my girlfriend (excellent climber) and decided to purchase some of my own equipment.

The odd thing is I am affraid of heights. Climbing has so far helped in getting me over it. (somewhat :rofl:)

Perhaps a Beyond meet at Stronghold for any experienced or Belay tested members some time.

Well I wouldnt exactly call myself a climber but I did just strart on friday just doing indoor\

Its pretty fun anyways Im having a blast. But it looks like we are doing it every friday now so maybe I'll do outdoor soon.

I'm living in Victoria, so I'm gonna say probably not, but maybe I have been when Ive been in Calgary, but when I head back home maybe I'll check it out there a couple times. You belay people yet?

[Kona9]

every time I go I belay. First thing I did was take the Belay course

our school had a wall in it. wouldn't call myself a climber, but i loved it and I got the schools fasts time up the wall :thumbsup: I'd love to get back at it again though. Sucks that I live so damn far away from Calgary...:(

i used to climb stronghold and calgary climbing center and what not and a few trips out to the mountains (patties flats and what not) - far from an experienced climber but i'd be down for a beyond climb fest

I used to be a climbing instructor for the Rocky Mountain YMCA, you can actually catch a clip of me on the job on channel 10 lol, and would love to get more people interested so to anyone that would love to get involved with the sport, I would love be of assistance to you and get you started on the right foot..:thumbsup:

but yeah i would be down for a Beyond climbing meet either at the stronghold, and maybe have a day out here in the mountains out at heart creek, or the base of Ha Ling. come spring time of course

[Kona9]

Ha Ling is the first Mountain I ever climbed to the peak (hiking Style) Awesome day hike!!

I would love to be shown some Canmore climbs.

Climb meet at Stronghold one day for sure
