@ragingloli I may not have climbed real rock cliffs, but the massive indoor climbing walls I have been on, they have a lot of ‘trick’ rocks, where if you put a majority of your weight on it, they will spin out from under your foot, causing you to catch yourself with your hands. It’s a nice teaching tool, because real rock cliffs are very unpredictable. You never know what will be a loose rock that could slip from under your foot & if you don’t have the arm strength to catch & hold yourself, you will be going in the wrong direction on that cliff. @hopscotchy, another GREAT thing to have when climbing, is a partner you trust. I’m guessing, since it’s you & your husband, I’d say you are fine. Unless he recently re-did your life insurance in the past 6 months & this rock climbing thing was his idea… then maybe you should reconsider. :) But all in all, have fun, because it may be strenuous, but when you reach the top, nothing feels as great as that moment.
