Are you a good climber?

[Circushowcowboy]

Could you scale the side of a mountain if you had to?

[indissoluble]

I wouldn't consider myself a good climber, but I did rock climbing walls that were like 50 feet when I was in middle school numerous times in a gym setting, I ascended like 60 to 70 foot trees, I scaled rock faces and repealed down them that were roughly 150 feet high a number of times, and I've hiked through a number of mountain ranges up peaks that were several thousand feet avoiding cliff faces just following rugged trails and orienteering through mountainous terrain. Heights don't bother me and I know the basics of rock climbing but I'm from Florida, it's relatively flat here. I can't get out and mountain climb without traveling a good distance so it's not something I'd consider myself all that skilled at.

Climbing is only a fraction of the skills required for mountaineering. I'm a good "climber" having been rock-climbing for almost two decades now, but a mountain is a tricky thing.

I've gone on a couple mountaineering trips but only as a fill-in. I don't know a lot of the skills required, such as glacial navigation and reading avalanche risks, but I can lead a pitch and tie out an anchor well enough.

Post me up solo on a mountain and I'm as dead as the next guy. There are probably only a hand full of people in the entire world who could reasonably be expected to on-site a mountain solo without preparation; and even then it's high risk.

p. s. I have a moonboard in my garage.

Haha, how fancy! I received a formal invitation to your question. A mountain? No, I don't think so. I think I remember what a scaredy cat jumping off that rock face we have around here that is like a right of passage.

Doing that in reverse? No I don't think so. At least if I peed myself on the way down, I will have never known once I hit the water. Not so much going on the way up. I prefer to keep myself on flat ground.

[Circushowcowboy]

You get the vip treatment lol

Ha understandable. Well maybe a smaller hill or something.

[Masie]

A small hill is no problem.

[Circushowcowboy]

Heck yea 💪

[Abbycado]

[beenherebefore]

Climbing is definitely something I want to try just for fun I don't think I would climb an actual mountain.

[Circushowcowboy]

It is great exercise

[AgentG111]

Had to? Like for life and limb emergency senerio? Possibly. For the hell of it. Doesn't speak to me.

[Circushowcowboy]

For a good bowl of mac n. cheese

[AgentG111]

Just for that no.

[Circushowcowboy]

Missing out

[NathanDavis]

I'm good enough to try my best and not die...

I can't say I am good at it when we all can see the experienced ones doing it...

[Account]

Ι am mediocre.
Not that good but not that bad as well.

[Agape93]

Reasonable, and depends how steep

[Circushowcowboy]

Pretty neat skill to have

[Agape93]

How long will it take for you to climb my boob?

[Circushowcowboy]

Lolss a few minutes at least

[Agape93]

Minutes or weeks?

[Xawyx-2]

[CubaPirate]

[xawyx-3]
