	Hasn't voted	Thanks - Katie's been climbing since she was two. The are'teryx logo took me all day to paint; but it and some other paintings (not shown) add atmosphere to the wall. We had 3-6 climbers over two nights a week to climb (during the winter).

	Hasn't voted	Thanks - she's been in gymnastics for the last year, which has really helped her strength and flexibility. I'm hoping she'll put the ropes up for me on the hard climbs when I get old (er).

It looks like you are training your rope gun.

you wrote this article. I fully concurr with you on this sport. It is just climbing and it does bring such great joy to us but stepping on others in this sport and other sports is unacceptable. It is not the great obstacles(rock,ice) that we overcome that define us but how we treat those around in doing so.....Lawrence
