my brother rock climbs and has the arms and back of a wrestler and a rower.. It is a fun way to cross train for other sports and was an amazing workout.

I am a pretty avid climber, and I guess it is no coincidence that I am also into rowing (as part of my adventure racing) and that I also wrestled in highschool. Talk about great shape! That was some intense exercise.

I love the site.. you've done an awesome job. I rowed all 4 years of HS (4+ and 8's..) and wrestled only as a hs sr. My brother has been doing rock climbing for 4 years now and he has grown tremendously every time I've seen him.

They should make it a varsity sport. It could get people out doors (if thats where you held it) and its fun to do and seems to be something that would be an awesome outlet and a good show of athleticism (tho I;d rather row/wrestle for 2 hours than rockclimb) and if girl are interested they can ee guys powering themselves up those things.

It's too bad that it's prohibitvely expensive here in Toronto and, like rowing, aren't a lot of places to do it.
