Can you tell me what the sport involves? I've done it before it is fun, to take up a class should l take it with my friend so we can hold the rope for each other? Are there guys that do Rock Climbing? What are the average prices for classes? Can l take it with a friend? Most Important are there lot is of teenagers+Boy teens that do it?
If there is anything else you can tell me about the sport feel free to share.
Thanks for all your help. byee

Climbing involves strength & mental focus. Climbing classes r always a good idea -- safety is paramount, especially in climbing. If you're more comfortable going with a friend, that is fine (also, it might make remembering certain things easier).
The cost for a class can vary depending on the organization. Some r all day classes whereas others r only an hour or two.
As for the boy vs. girl ratio, yes, I'd say that, overall, there r more men climbers than women. If u want to check out the demographics, go to a climbing class (and/or do some bouldering at a local climbing spot/gym) & u can determine the ratio of male vs. female climbers.

First- there r tons of guys & girls who do it--- the ones that workout regularly have HOT bodies!
To ur questions: From the fitness side, rock climbing is not only an aerobic workout, but it also works on strength & flexability at the same time. It burns approx 850 calories per hour. Since it is a full body workout- u will notice yourself getting much stronger very quickly. Do not worry- it is not all about upper body strength. (When l started, l could not do a push up & now l can do 10)
You should take a class. Go to ur local gym & tell them u want a intro to climbing or beginners class- expect about $35 for that. Usually u will be with an instructor & maybe 3 more people. Most places keep the classes small for safety reasons. If u r ok talking with new people- go solo. If u r shy, bring a freind. (do not worry- u will look silly, but EVERYONE has been there. the experienced hot guys wo not watch.)
From the gyms l have been do & watching the people there & their interactions, l have noticed that the teenaged boys who do climb r hard core climbers & ignore the girls. (but it is really easy to start conversations & most climber r cool as can be.)
Have fun climbing- take it slow & enjoy!

1. it involves strength, endurance and FUN! 2. it is better to climb with someone so that you can (yes) hold the rope for each other and at the same time fun with your friend. It is lonely when you climb alone. 3. there are a lot of guys who are in the sport. Many women also engage in this sport professionally or non-professionally. 4. Depends where you are. 5. Take it with a friend 6. a lot of boy and girl teens

OK LOL!
Indoor rock climbing is perfect for you, those places are like going to the beach 'cause everyone is scantily clad and struttin' their stuff. Wear yoga pants and a tiny bikini top and you will have plenty of teen boys looking up at your butt! Who knows you may actually get into the climbing aspect of it too. L!!

Rock climbing is one of my favorite sports ever. l am on a climbing team & have made so many friends! The sport involves strength, (mental & physical) endurance, bravery, courage, & technique. For most classes, u do not need to have a friend to belay, (hold the rope with a special device). When u take classes, the instructor will teach u how to belay, & other basic guidelines. There will usually be a sign up sheet for people in need of climbing partners at the rock gym. There r a TON of guys as well as women that rock climb, it is an amazing sport, & almost everyone who tries it likes it. Classes can range anywhere from 25 to 100 dollars depending on what u r learning. Lead climbing classes tend to be a bit more expensive, for beginning climbers, classes, (per class) probably r about 25 dollars. Yeah u can take it with a friend! Rock climbing is a very social sport, for support, & belaying, & spotting. Really any age (people that r fit & healthy) can do it. Lots of teenage boys do it. l think that l love rock climbing the most because u r pushing ur limits, getting better & better. You r really only competing against yourself, & it is amazing. Good luck to you! Lily
