[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8088691, member: 6987520"] Yeah, I figured that was what you meant. I live in upstate NY near a fair number of "valleys" and cliffs. Here is a photo of the creek near my house where I was [I]dumb enough[/I] to climb as a kid: [ATTACH type="full" width="305px"]126267[/ATTACH] If you look towards the back you will see the rocky "wall" rising above the river edge. I made it up and down that wall (along with others near my house) a couple times when I was feeling particularly stupid. Now, being older and wiser, yeah I know with proper ropes and gear, climbing can be safe and a lot of fun. I'll never claim to know what I am doing LOL because I understand my experience is very limited in that sense and I've only gone rock climbing with trained professionals when I went out in Arizona. And for people who've climbed IRL, that is why I want to play out those challenges with adventurers in my groups. Falling is dangerous and can be deadly.
