Why you should try rock climbing
By Nick Adkisson on March 2, 2023
Rock climbing is a fun activity with multiple physical and mental benefits that allow you to meet interesting people. Practicing rock climbing consistently can increase strength, coordination, and balance while improving your focus and problem-solving capabilities. There are multiple different types of rock climbing, bouldering is the most casual and accessible and is also my personal favourite but I recommend you do your own research and find which one suits your interests, goals, and skill level.
It’s an opportunity to push physical and mental boundaries to reach personal accomplishments. If the proper gear is used and safety measures followed, it can be a way to overcome your personal fear of heights. Keep track of the Ookslife calendar since NAIT Health and Fitness hosts multiple rock-climbing workshops a year at super-discounted prices. So now you’re ready to try rock climbing, make sure you stay safe and have fun!
