KaBAMpow! Rock Climbing

So let's talk very briefly about rock climbing. And I do mean very briefly, because I'm quite exhausted and due to be quite sore very soon, so I'd rather go to bed before that latter part sets in.

We've got this awesome new indoor climbing and fitness center in Atlanta called Stone Summit. It's the biggest indoor rock climbing facility in the nation. Yeah. Today was the second time I've gotten to go, and I'm completely in love with it. So in love that I bought myself a membership today ^-^ (this is my super pumped face).

For those of you who have never been indoor rock climbing, GO. That's it. You have to. Make like Nike and Just Do It.

Reasons I love rock climbing:
1) the odds of you getting hurt are low. Really, like, three hundred bagazillion to one (yes, I'm sure it's a real number... sheesh)
2) conquering a wall just makes you feel awesome inside
3) it's really cool to watch. But seriously, if you sit and watch rock climbers who have any experience and any confidence in what they're doing, it just kind of looks like they glide up and down the wall. It's so awesome. You're like "woah, is that dude even touching the grips? He so looks like he's just gliding. Awesome."
3.5) I imagine the above quote in a stereotypical California surfer-dude voice
3.75) the voices I imagine don't usually sounds like a stereotypical California surfer-dude
4) climbing is a really great workout for people who don't actually want to work out, like myself

I've actually gone bouldering the past two times I've been to Stone Summit. Bouldering is climbing, but without ropes. No harness, no ropes, no belaying. SO HARD CORE AND DANGEROUS, RIGHT?! Not really. There are always height limits to the walls that are used for bouldering, so you're not hoisting yourself up a 40 foot wall - gonna be more like 15 or 20 feet. But it's still really fun and really cool, and qualifies under all of the reasons listed above.

This was just on my mind right now. I could write a lot more, and maybe I will tomorrow night, because yes =^) I'm going again tomorrow afternoon. And yes, I'm trying to make myself miserably sore.

Night!
