I took a rock climbing class. Nothing like this of course. I was 45 YO and 6'2", 230 lbs. Not built for it. The instructor was 19, 6'2" 118 lbs. I remember his one comment that you could put your foot anywhere you could put your hand; meaning he could put his foot somewhere above his head and pull himself up to a standing position. Yeah right!! If you are 19 yo and weight 118 lbs maybe.
