Thread: Great Start at new gym.

I started climbing when I was invited to a birthday party several years ago. At this point, I was what would be referred to as an Unconscious Incompetent. This means that I was unaware that I would even need any skills to continue from there. It’s just pulling yourself up a wall, how hard could it be? Several years, and birthday parties, later, I saw an article in the local paper about a climbing gym having an open house, with climbing, and a B.B.Q. outside. Didn’t have anything else to do that day, the gym was only a 15 minute drive away, and I always wanted to get more into climbing, but never really knew how to get started, so didn’t pursue it.

Upon getting to the gym, I had a harness put on me and did a couple of climbs, even the ‘upside down one!’ This left me with the nagging question, how do you get more into this sport? And what in the world does a climbing team do? Why does the harness strap go through the buckle 3 times? What do all the key chains on the wall do? How about those silly looking things coming out of the floor? I signed up to an intro course / belay course, so I could learn to ‘hold the ropes’. Still at that point, I didn’t believe that there could be any more to it than running it through an upside down Easter basket, and pulling up the wall like a mad man.
