Been climbing for 7 seasons.
Started in New England; White Mountains, Connecticut rock quarries.
Did Devil's Tower this summer with my sister-in-law.

But other than that, lately it's been the rock gym for me.

I don't know how you guys do that shit. I discovered that heights was a TRUE phobia of mine attempting climb. I got up about 50 feet and realized that I had turned into a giant puss. I feel uncomfortable just standing near the edge of a cliff or tall building. Almost to the point of passing the hell out.

Do you guys have this same fear and enjoy overcoming it? I like going fast in that same manner, but heights wigs me out bad!

Well I started to do it for the exercise but soon after my first attempt I found myself yelling at the belay to keep the damn rope tight and let me down quick,,,,

From that point on I have been doing it to overcome the fear that I found. Now I boulder, and have no problem with the height It took a while to get over it but now its all fun and games
