| Rock climbing is a great way to stay fit both mentally and physically. It is a great way to empower yourself, step outside the box, and humble your soul. Rock climbing embodies what experiential education call "perceived risk". Going climbing with a trained guide is like riding a roller coaster. There is a lot of perceived risk. This will enable you to grow as a person outside of your comfort zone. However, like a roller coaster, there is little actual risk. This means that at any time you can stop and get off the ride, safe sound. Rock climbing is really safer than driving or riding in a car. |
