Since we moved down here in Colorado we try to influence ourselves to outdoor activities as means of exercise. Last year, we came down here to visit and my husband's son and his girlfriend took us Climbing at the Red Rocks. When I looked at how steep the rock was, I hesitated at first but then my ego kicked in and I didn't wanna be embarrassed and be called a chicken, I fearlessly started to hit the rock and grab anything I can hold on to with my hand. Although it was scary, it was actually very safe because of the gears that they let us use.

The rock was probably 75 feet in height and for a first time climber, it's pretty high. I actually almost got to the top but I chickened out and decided to come down because my legs were already shaking. I was scared that I might have peed on my pants that time:)). At least I've learned some climber lingo which I already forgot, peace. It's weird that I felt the fear of climbing when, when I was in the Philippines, I used to climb the mountains a lot on the way to my grandpa's farm. Well I guess it was easier there whereas here, you are literally climbing a rock.

Rock climbing is kinda cool. It does really make you sweat not just from the heat or the exercise itself but the feeling of fear especially when you are getting farther and farther from the ground. Gravity is something that everybody should be scared of. This kind of activities are not that easy and even with the gears, there is still a chance for these gears to malfunction so, you just really gotta have to be always careful everytime you do this kinda stuff.
