Rock Climbing

I've been rock climbing for many years.   I started climbing with my brothers years ago.   I took a break for a while, then started climbing again in 2002.   I got Vince interested in climbing with me, then Lee started climbing with us.   I had to take a break in November of 2003 when I hurt my knee again.   I started climbing again in January 2004 with the family of one of my co-workers.   I also got my friend Mel to start climbing with us out at Sportrock Sterling.

Here are some pictures of some of us at Sportrock Climbing Gym in Sterling.

"Ok.  I'm going to try this bouldering wall."	Working on a bouldering route.	Almost to the top of an auto-belay route.
"Yay!  I made it to the top.  Now, I have to climb down a little so I don't fall too far."	Rachael climbing with her climbing doll.	Rachael traversing.

Here are some pictures of me and climbing with Lee and Vince at Sportrock Climbing Gym in Alexandria.

Concentrating on stay on the marked route up the wall.	"Hello down there."	"Where do I go next?"
	Here is Lee on her first time at the climbing gym.
Vince is tied in and choosing what route to follow.	"Ok, how do I do this again?".	Almost to the top
