Here are some pics of me rock climbing in California and Yosemite National Park. I think it was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. I never saw so many waterfalls in one place.

There was 5 of us climbing together and we were on the face of the cliff for about 5-6 hours. This was my first climb ever and it was awesome. A buddy of mine climbs all the time and asked if I wanted to go and of course I said absolutely. I would love to do it again. It was a great experience.

At the first belay station. With 5 people it takes time to move and there is not much room.

another hobby I've considered getting into but never have...

You would love it Tony. It was awesome.

Great pics man. Looks like a blast!

You would love it Tony. It was awesome.
my problem is that I would get to the top and want to BASE off! lol

Excellent photos! Looks like a really great climb! I cannot let my wife see these pictures... she would want to get back into climbing and drag me with.

I went on a climbing wall once and its so much freaking harder than I thought it would be. I did the most difficult one which probably wasnt smart my first time but it was a great workout.
