Rock climbing

"Real Programmers don't play tennis, or any sport that requires you to change clothes. Mountain climbing is OK, and real programmers always wear their climbing boots to work in case a mountain should suddenly spring up in the middle of a machine room."

The rock wall is a challenge.

It stands tall above you dares you to try and climb if, find nukes and crannies for your hands and feet, slowly pull yourself up secured by a line of rope anchored high above you.

I love a good challenge.

Turns out I have an affinity for climbing.

With very little previous experience I was able to easily pull off the hardest routes on the rock face near Chancos that 10 of us approached on a beautiful sunny morning. In fact I was the only one who climbed the negative accent and I did it without breaking a sweat..

Maybe I found my sport?

I should defiantly try and purse this activity in the future.
