Hi guys. Wow, rock climbing, how I would love to get back into that! I used to compete in indoor climbing comps. We often went outdoors to some of the greatest climbs in Australia, Arapiles, the Grampians, the Three Sisters…. And it was such a great way to get fit! Unfortunately, I no longer have a climbing partner :(

Bouldering is something anyone can do, as you are only a metre or so off the ground and won’t do a major injury if you fall. Plus there are so many places you can boulder for free!

Mmm! Yay, climbing! This is such a great sport if you love traveling, too! You can climb pretty much anywhere and everywhere! If you love route climbing, you should try bouldering! (In case you don’t know, it’s climbing without harnesses or ropes, and the route are typically anywhere from 7-25 feet up, involving very technical moves). I’ve been doing it for years, and I can’t imagine going back to route climbing! :) I recommend the La Sportiva Solutions as far as shoes go.

No Gloves don’t usually work very well as you need the direct contact with the rock,,,We sometimes use a little bit of cloth tape when your fingers get rubbed off from to much climbing or from popping off
