Company Climbing Night!

 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!
