Rick climbing is awesome. I’ve tried it a couple times.
A friend of mine is quite good at it. It’s all about using as little energy as possible, strong fingers and using your legs a as much as possible to go up as your arms get sore really fast if you don’t.
When you see the experienced ones climb it is almost a dance.
I’m sure you’ll have a lot of fun with your son getting better at rock climbing

Oh absolutely dude, you've got the premise completely. Legs are the most important part of it and I still kind of struggle to use them as much as they need to be to get up there. I was able to climb my hardest one a few weeks ago which was great. They rank them 5.x for example 5.6 is the easiest one and 5.10 are the harder ones, with 5.12 being the most difficult and even adding 5.12a 5.12b etc. I did a 5.10a and was excited! I don't have the best finger grip strength to do the climbs but I've gotten better since the first session which has been good!
Is the climbing you and your friend have done outdoors or indoors? I haven't done outdoors formally yet but want to try in a few years.
It was indoors. He has done it a lot more than me. Even joined an indoor rockclimbing club.
Outdoors rockclimbing should be absolutely phenomenal.
I remember seeing a tv program once of a multi-day rock climbing, where the guy had a small tent/bag that he could attach to the rock, so that he could sleep!
I don’t think I would be able to sleep like that 🤪
Hahaha yeah we’ve seen pictures of those damn tents! What the hell does one need to sleep on the side of a mountain for?! Also how the heck does one go to the bathroom?? Crazy stuff lol
I wonder about that too 😜
