Magic Monk tries Lead Climbing first time! Approximate grade 5.10a

avatar

Lead Climbing is definitely one of the biggest fitness challenges I've ever faced! But in traditional magic monk style I took it on and finished the climb :) It's a style of climbing that is in the Olympics where you have to clip the rope into the quickdraw as you climb, rather than having the rope hanging from the top at the start of the climb. It's a lot more challenging because you have to hold on with one hand at various parts of the climb.

Damn bro that looks really fun. I've climbed like that as a kid, but it was always pretty small. We have a climbing gym nearby to where I live, I've actually never been. I need to check it out sometime.

I live in a state that is very well known for great climbing. Like actual rock climbing out in nature. Yet I still have never done it. At least I’ve gone white water rafting a few times.
