Looking for a new hobby? Well, you're in luck because I’ve got a great one. Rock climbing is an activity everyone should try for many reasons.

Exercise, of course, is a positive attribute to rock climbing. First of all, whenever we finish something that was difficult we feel proud

While there, me and my sister had to opportunity to climb several mountain faces that ranged from 90 to 110 feet off the ground.
