Over the last few months I've started going to the gym on a regular basis (broomball and taekwondo just werent cutting it). So now I go rock climbing a few times a week, I'm really digging it.
A few kids that I'm friends with upstairs work at the climbing wall, and this weekend they had a bouldering competition. Now bouldering is a lot like rock climbing except subtract the rope.
The goal of the sport is to climb a wall ( ceiling, what ever angle and height) and you follow a trail or marked holds. THey are usually marked by color tape. The start and finish are both marked by triangles. Now it may sound easy, but it most certainly is not. Some of the ways you have to contort your body are so weird, an stretch muscles you didnt even know you had.
It was so fun to watch and it just amazes me at how much strength these people must have to do this sport. ( Also another reason I've become obsessed, I must say I am getting pretty strong). I told them that I really want to compete in the next match!
It's gonna be sick.
Here are a few pictures of my friends in action!
