So what do people do that want to rock climb but are scared to death of heights? They "Boulder." That's right, it's a sport of climbing these huge boulders. Some are only 8ft tall, some are 20ft. Some are easy, some are extremely difficult and offer an excellent challenge to even the most experienced climbers. Either way it's a lot of fun and a heck of a lot cheaper than actual rock climbing since you don't have to have all the gear associated with hanging off cliffs.
Anyways, today Toby and I went bouldering for a bit this morning. It was my first time, and I must say it was rather difficult, especially on my sensitive office working hands. The strength needed to hold your entire body by only your finger tips or stand on just the tip of your toes is far
greater than expected. Here is a pic of the first boulder I climbed.
