Climbing

I love climbing as it is fun and makes you stronger. Most weeks my dad, my brother and I go to Harrow wall climbing centre. Every time I get to the top of a wall it is a nice achievement to show that I have worked hard to get up the top. At Harrow they teach you to try to only stick to one colour while you climb.

First, beginners start with cyan as they are the easiest to use. There is also a technique which some people use which is called campus where you don't use your feet to climb. You can use campus if you want to jump from hold to hold, without using your feet. It is also an actual rock move that's useful if you're going up on a steeply overhanging climbing route with no footholds.
