Ever tried to explain what climbing is to someone else? Ever needed it explained to you? That's why I put together this photo-illustrated, entertaining and informative (and how!), slide show. Feel free to send the link to friends; and climbing gyms feel free to use it as a patron orientation: Start the Rock Climbing Slide Show Now

(upper left) I'm very psyched to climb at this place when it opens in Atlanta in May. Talk about tall, steep climbing heaven (with a 'little "h"' :-) Yes I build climbing walls too, but I don't feel any sense of competitive envy with these folx...my company is a Mom & Pop outfit...apples and oranges compared with the scale that these guys are on. All I can say is "looks great guys! Brav-O"

Rock climber falls, breaks arm

Posted: 8:34 AM- CEDAR CITY -- A hiker was injured last night when he fell while
rock climbing in Garfield County. Sheriff's deputies say a rock broke loose
while the man was rappelling, causing the fall.
This piece is very indicative of the misperceptions we get as climbers. Was this hapless dude a hiker, a climber, or a rappeler? Three very different things. But anybody who falls off a rock while trying to take a high altitude drunken wiz gets counted in the "climber" casualty statistics...simply because he was near a rock when the mood struck him. That's why I wrote these pages...to dispel a few myths
