Siemens Rockville Climbing Centre

Last Thursday I was climbing for the first time. Now I understand why so many people from very diverse backgrounds dedicate so much effort to climbing. Beside the fact that it's just almost too much fun, climbing is great for building strength and flexibility. Since the complexity of climbing movement is almost infinite and much of the challenge involves problem solving, you tend not to get bored with your workout. You are flexing your mind as well as your muscles and learning teamwork, as roped climbing requires the coordinated effort of two people - Every climber needs a belayer, someone to control the safety ropes while I climb.
