It begins with a little itch, a tingling in your fingertips when the need to climb takes hold. Shaking out your arms, you dip your hand into your chalkbag analyzing the route before you like a textbook. It shoots up from the ground, a crack in the stone, a physical puzzle you pick apart one foot placement here and stemming arm move there, you climb feeling the rock beneath you, the air around and below you, your focus narrowing down to laser-like precision with each move.

You are a rock climber.

Not just another outdoor pursuit, rock climbing can become a full-blown obsession if not an entire lifestyle altogether—just ask the guys living out of their van in Yosemite—one that draws on your soul, body, and mind flushing and fueling you at the same time. It may have started at your local rock gym or from a friend’s invitation to try out some top-roping. Whatever reason you began, it’s a ticket to a new world.
