Background:

I was born and raised just across the state in Tampa Bay. I grew up with two other siblings in a suburban setting. Growing up I played soccer all the way up until I graduated high school. My passions changed as I explored my first year in college and I changed a lot as a person. By the end of freshman year I had found rock climbing and immediately got hooked on it. Ever since then I've been climbing as much as I can, and I've even gotten friends hooked on it as well. Rock climbing is the ultimate full body test of strength and endurance, it pushes anybody to their limits.

Do's and Don'ts of Climbing

I thought I would include a little informational section about safe climbing techniques if you were interested in going to a climbing gym!

Do's Don'ts
Do properly warm-up and stretch before climbing Don't begin climbing immediately
Do reassure no one else has been waiting to climb Don't assume you can walk up to the wall whenever you want
Do try to climb down from the top of the wall instead of jumping. Don't try to get air time and jump from the top of the wall.
Do practice good fall technique if you do fall. Knees bent and roll into the motion. Don't keep your legs straight when landing and try to stand up.
