Rock climbing is a very challenging sport; height of the cliffs can make people give up so easily. It is also a very dangerous sport for ones who didn't learn enough in both theory and practical. Learning to climb is very much like learning to ride a bike. You'll never forget the basic moves, but will need years of practice to perfect them. This kind of sport is not only for experts, it is also for anyone who'd like to participate. It is not all about strength, many strong men have been humbled by the feminine graciousness and apparent ease of a woman moving over rock. Climbing is all about balance, knowing your body and being able to reposition it in space. It's about creativity, learning to adapt to what the rock has to offer. It's a whole-body exercise and though your upper body gets a fair share of grunt work, your legs and feet are your most important instrument for upward motion. It's about concentration and overcoming your fears for the void.
