SoYouWanna Go Rock Climbing?
Cooooool. Well, rock climbing isn t as glamorous as Hollywood makes it look. rock climbing requires you to be in pretty good physical shape.
http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/rockclimbing/rockclimbing.html

Extractions: We've all seen Mission Impossible 2 (or at least the preview): Tom Cruise hangs perilously from a rock by his fingertips, the mere slip of a finger bringing about a terrifying plunge to death. Cooooool Well, rock climbing isn't as glamorous as Hollywood makes it look. It's an intense sport that requires lots of preparation, practice, and concentration. But with this primer, you'll be well on your way to going on your first rock climbing expedition. Having said that, this SYW should not serve as your only reading. Rock climbing after doing nothing more than reading this SYW is like driving a car for the first time after watching a Toyota commercial. But it's a start. After reading this article, we suggest that you enroll in a class and go climbing with an instructor. To protect our toned butts, we repeat: go climbing with an instructor . Unless you like the "full-body cast" look. Rock climbing requires you to be in pretty good physical shape. You don't have to be Sylvester Stallone or anything (thank God!), but you nonetheless must realize that you'll be using your legs and arms to haul your carcass up the side of a mountain. Halfway up the face of a rock is not a good place to realize that you have the body strength of a wimpy second grader who always gets his lunch money stolen.

Rock Climbing On Irish Sea Cliffs
General area information, route descriptions, and photographs for areas around County Kerry from Hedera Helix.
http://www.hedera.demon.co.uk/climbing-ireland.html

Extractions: This is the complex black cliff between the steep sided inlet called Coosnahorna and the tumble down Fogher Cliff, on the SW side of Reenadrolaun Point. The height ranges from 35m to 60m. The first eight routes can be reached by an abseil over The Lobster of Incontinence. In calm seas, the first 16 can be reached below 3/4 tide. In big seas, waves can come over the top. The easiest escape, bar Jumaring is E1. The rock is a generally sound sandy slate, there is little loose rock but edged are very sharp and care should be taken with rope work and abseils. Rope protectors of some sort are essential for the abseils. All directions are given facing into the cliff. Two sets of Friends 1 - 3 can prove useful.
Rock Climbing
rock climbing. How can the human body stick to a sheer cliff? What techniques cliff face? What forces are at work in rock climbing?
http://www.reachoutmichigan.org/funexperiments/agesubject/lessons/newton/rckclim

Extractions: Try This Although rock climbing does not draw large crowds, it claims an annual growth rate of 50%, with women accounting for one-quarter of all climbers. Before beginning, however, climbers should get professional instruction so they understand how to use ropes to protect themselves against the forces of gravity Climbers choose nylon ropes because they stretch and absorb the shock of a fall. Good climbing ropes will stretch to double their original length before breaking and have a breaking strength of over three tons of force. Ropes are used in two ways. In "top roping" (the safest method), climbers fix webbing to an immovable object at the top of a cliffusually a tree or a rock. They attach the webbing to a carabiner . Then they pass a rope through the carabiner, letting the two ends dangle down the side of the cliff. One end is tied to the climber. The other is tied to and held by a person at the bottom, who keeps the rope taut to stop a fall.

Camp Green Cove, Employment Overview
Camp counselor jobs at NC mountain camp. We teach hiking, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, horseback riding, mountain biking, rock climbing, swimming, and tennis.
http://www.greencove.com/employment/employment_index.htm

Extractions: Green Cove has a long standing tradition as an adventure camp for girls. Because a good camp is devoted full-time to kids, it can provide role models, time and opportunities that are difficult, if not impossible, to duplicate elsewhere. Green Cove is looking for mature, fun-loving, outgoing individuals who have a love for the outdoors and the desire and ability to communicate sound values and attitudes to young people. They should be able to teach one or more of our activities. The average age is about 25. The youngest is 18, and through a year of college. Our overall counselor to camper ratio is better than four to one, which allows the counselor more opportunity to impact the experience of the kids.
