I used to do a bit of free climbing, but never at those heights. Scary, but so much fun! I stopped while in college. I tried a rock wall at a farmer's market a couple of years ago, one of those fiberglass jobs that have four difficulty levels. I chose the hardest. I almost made it to the top, but my forearms were burning and I just could not hit the buzzer. I had to let go and let the safety rope take me down.
