So to add to my work out regimen I decided to finally say yes to my boss
asking me to go climbing. I was unsure what to think but last Friday
night we went to The Factory Bouldering
in Orange (right by Angels Stadium) to climb around on some walls.
This was unlike any climbing experience I've had because I've always
been on ropes and harnesses. This is actually rope-less and there are a
TON of courses. I was totally the type wanting to cut corners and use
other colored 'notches' instead of the ones you were supposed to use but
then I decided to really work on technique. I found the beginner
courses were pretty easy and then jumping up one level to V0's, they
were so challenging. I would have kept going but I got four "flappers"
on my fingers and was toast by the end of the evening. I recommend to
anyone that is interested to try it out. It's a good arm and leg work
out and a fun alternative to your standard weights and barbells. It's
very slow and methodical and requires a good amount of technique!
