I've always had an interest in outdoor climbing, so when the opportunity came up during my visit to Acadia National Park, Maine to climb with a guide, I jumped on it! This was the second time I ever climbed outdoors - the first time with my sister @karensuestudios at the same park. This climb began with a descent and rappel down the side of the cliff. Rappelling was such a neat feeling but a little scary as well. The scenery at the Otter Cliffs is absolutely stunning, and I really enjoyed my half day of rock climbing -it makes me feel alive and adventurous! My muscles were really sore by the end. Here's a documentary video I put together of the first route. Thanks for watching and steem on friends!

Pulling plastic is so much fun and is particularly nice during the harsher weather months but it couldn't ever compare to that view right there. I will have to keep an eye out for these type of opportunities. I don't belong to any formal climbing communities but maybe some steemit climbing community collaboration will get me on some real rock soon!
I want to practice using a more dynamic style when I get back to indoor climbing, as I think a stronger foundation in those fundamentals are better adapted for natural "problems" occurances.
No wonder you have such great grip strength for pole! I went to rock climbing to gain more strength for a triumphant return to pole as well haha
hahah yeah I am not normally in a location either with such an opportunity! I think there is definitely a climbing community here! hehehe I love how you put that "triumphant" return!! I think sometimes my arms burn way more in climbing because I like hanging off my legs in pole a lot :P
Wow. You are so adventurous. I like it, I wish I was this brave.
You are exploring the whole world, my friend.
I admire you for that.
:D thank you my friend!! The world is an amazing place!
So adventurous and brave of you....Bravo my friend!
Thanks you @xabi!! :D You are awesome as usual!!
Rock climbing is so much fun! I've never done it off of a cliff like that before. The waves in the background really made the video pretty epic :D
