Rock Climbing Pictures

I've recently begun to learn how to rock climb and I'm absolutely loving it! It's something that I was exposed to in college and have been interested in ever since. Unfortunately, rock climbing is not a hobby that one just goes out and starts (thus, I am just now learning how to climb). One needs a place to climb (South just opened up a new recreation center last year with a 40-foot rock climbing wall), equipment (South's rec center loans it to me for free!), and someone who knows what they are doing to teach you a thing or two. A friend of mine is a fabulous and very experienced climber and he's been teaching me the basics over the past few months. I'm not very good yet but I try hard whenever I'm on that wall!

These pictures are from National Geographic's archive online. I thought they were really neat so I decided to share them with all of you! Enjoy!
