I've been once, in the long long ago. It was a blast.

Wore me the hell out, too.

Nowhere really convenient for me...:(

I am a beginner.. I am wanting to start going again. Loser on the forums has been doing it for quite a while.

How much of a beginner? Do you have any equipment? Do you know how to belay?

I have only been doing it for a few years with ropes. I used to climb freestyle when I was in the Army, but I am fairly new to the whole "protection" thing.

You should take it up again! We could have a rock-climbing meet.

Have a harness.. and am good at belaying.. We used a gri-gri (spelling?) to assist with belaying. I have done 4 good climbs (75-100 feet)

Can you belay without a gri-gri (e.g., using an ATC)? Do you have shoes?

:rofl :rofl

Ropes and related climbing devices are referred to as "protection."

Edit: I am sorry if all of this discussion of ropes is having an unintentional effect on you.

You can just using a figure 8 loop.. that is how we did it before.. The nice thing about the grigri is the saftey issue. If someone falls the gri gri will stop the rope automatically, the figure 8 the person has to lock the rope behind their back, but works just fine.. ATC? What is that? Not familiar with all the terms.

and no shoes.. But I want to get a pair..

I have used a gri gri and the figure 8....but I prefer ATC's. This is what I am talking about:

Do you ever climb at Atlanta Rocks for practice or anything?

Nope.. I know of a place off of Roswell road that has a really good place to climb. If you want I can show you the area..

I have not used the ATC.. But I see how it works.. Looks nice.

It may be the same place I know off of Roswell Road!

Near the damn?

Once I get the :thumbup: from the doctor I'll be hitting the ground running.

Yup....same place. Right near the water?

I remember. Ronell went last weekend, I was at the basketball game.

Not long now. I say a month at the most.

Ive been meaning to get back into climbing as well. I have all the gear ie rope, harness, shoes, ATC, carabiners, etc etc. Ive been wanting to join Atlanta Rocks to get back into it but of course its hard to find someone that climbs consistently. Let me know if you all ever want to get together. Its a great workout.

Ronell went last weekend...

Where?

Great! Don't rush yourself, though....

Pigeon Hill trail @ Kennesaw Mtn.

Not rushing myself, but not sitting back, either.

I was climbing rather consistently until my car accident, but I am ready to get right back into it. What level do you climb? I have done some 5.10s indoors, but I usually max out at 5.8 outside.

The Midtown Atlanta Rocks is just a few minutes from my office, so I am game whenever.

Yeah, thats about what I climb on a good day, maybe a tad less. I need to develop my technique a little more but its fun. Have been to rock town before to climb and climbed occasionally in College at White Rock NM and Los Alamos. Been to Atlanta rocks in the past.

Do you know if they have decent Gym facilities there? I dont recall? The monthly membership there isnt too bad either.

Lea,
What color is your E36? I wonder if I have seen you before, I remember seeing a girl before in a white E36 M3 several times in my neck of the woods. Im jealous of your 325E, used to have one in college and it was in perfect shape, wish I still had it...

The E36 is silver. I love my eta. It is sporting an everything delete right now in preparation for becoming a track car.:alright

Where in Asshatland do you live?

:confused

What? You already knew that!

The Midtown Atlanta Rocks doesn't have too much in the way of gym facilities. I have never been to the Perimeter location, but I understand from others that they have a more robust gym area.

rock climbing in a vehicle or by hand? rally just wanted to add to our post count versus MAR
bmw ftw

Where in Asshatland do you live?
Maybe it was silver, I dont remember. I just remember a Woman, and an M3:) and it was a lighter color...

I live off of Webb bridge, between 400 and 9.

Yeah, but the midtown location is superior. The reason I ask is because I canceled my gym membership and am looking for another one and would like to start climbing again as well...

The morgan falls damn area has been closed off for a while now. There is also Vickery creek.

I have been climbing for about 11 years. Although it has been a while since I have cliimbed since all of my climbing buddies moved.

I wanted to do both, but I made the mistake of taking my mom when it was below 70 deg outside.

M: It's so cold and windy.
R: It's really not that bad. Move it along,
M: Next time, let's leave earlier and pack a picnic with a couple bottles of wine.

:confused Hey, at least I get it honestly.

You went hiking with your mom? That is so cool. My parents are never sober long enough to do anything like that. I'm sure you can relate.

:D

Hahaha. You're a freaking riot. My parents are pretty cool like that. They hiked part of the App Trail last year and can't wait to take us...with plenty of alcohol I'm sure. :drink3

Fixed for my excuse. My dad did a lot of outdoorsy stuff with me when I was in boy scouts, actually.

My mom hiked 1/4-mile of the App Trail last year...
