Since I have acquired a new nickname or title, the irish king, I thought I'd make a new blog solely about climbing. I will take you along with me to my outdoor adventures by posting pictures and writing about my experiences. Hopefully you will enjoy hearing about these experiences at least a fraction of how much I enjoyed them. First off I will tell you a little bit about myself and where my love for climbing first began.
It all started in 2006 when me and a couple buddies went to sanctuary rock gym in sand city CA. I don't even recall how we ended up there, but someone suggested that we go climbing. I had been to the gym one before when I was much younger and had visited the skatepark that used to be next door numerous times. So we headed over signed our wavers rented our gear and were hooked into ropes and up on the walls in a flash. We ended up climbing for four plus hours that day and from that moment on I was hooked. Me and my friend Lawrence, who was one of the guys I went with that first time, got our gear and memberships shortly after. Oh how the climbing just lets you escape reality for a much more gymnastic and fun one. After a few months I started to get to know some of the better climbers. Among them were Mitch, Tim, and Justin. These three were probably among the top 5 climbers in the gym if not in the area. So since they were so much better than I was I started probing them for ways of improving.
They gave me a simple answer, climb outside!
Thus started my obsession.
