!WARNING: CLIMBING IS DANGEROUS!
Climbing is both a spectacular and dangerous passion to have. The good news is that climbing has gotten much safer in recent decades, but that doesn't make it risk free. If you're going to climb, be sure to bring someone with you who knows how to safely protect whatever style of climbing it is you will be doing. The best way to do this is to hire a guide, or climb with a friend who has professional training in the vertical realm.
