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

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
