Went repelling for then first time, scariest shit ever!!

[Demondosage]

So a buddy of mine always talks about repelling and rock climbing. I never thought much of it and finally was like ,"Ok, whatever, I'll try it."

Dudes....WTF!!! You have to be a nutcase to do this shit, the adrenaline from it is insane. We go up to this place with our wives and he tells me he needs me to belay for everyone so I'm going down first. I've never even seen anyone do this shit let alone try it. I'm hooking up and an audience has gathered to watch from the opposing cliff. Great, nothing like pressure rt? So I go over the edge first and I'm just thinking wtf?? I don't think I've ever been as scared before in my life. But you know what? I wanna do it again, I'm fookin hooked!!

 

[Demondosage]

she wouldn't get close enough to the damn edge to get a photo of me!!!

 

[Scirilo]

Looks fun to me

On my flight back to the US a couple weeks ago I sat next to Tyson Schoene, the assistant coach for the US climbing team, and Head Coach for the Vertical World Climbing Team. Anyway, he was all decked out in a jacket he'd traded with the Japanese national climbing team. Extremely wiry guy, gaunt face, super lean, not many ounces left to shred there.

Chatted with him for a while about forearm and hand strength training. They do a lot of hanging from some kind of grip boards, maybe I'll get one of those to work on my grip while watching TV.

I'm not placing myself suspended 100' over rocks however. Mr Death Wish....

How heavy did the rope feel once you got over the cliff? Or before you began to settle on the cliff before rappelling down?

Once you get good try Australian abseiling. That will get your adrenaline flying high.

Probably not as heavy as the big ball of adrenaline bouncing around in his chest

Hahaha, dude once I got over the cliff and let go to give all my trust to the equipment I'm surprised I knew how to work my fucking hands!!! My wife was telling me she could hear my voice changing tone once I got over the edge. I said to her, "at least my leg wasn't shaking like yours was!!" Next time I'm going bigger, not sure about climbing yet. He said climbing is crazier. I dont really have a climbers build exactly

Oh I'm going again for sure. And I'm going bigger, if I'm going to die regardless then it's going to be on something bigger

It is definitely scary the first time, until you get out on the cliff side or wall and begin to go down. Then you're ready to do it again.

Your gonna have to lose some muscle weight to climb Demon , Im too heavy I know you are . A climer friend told me to lose 25-30lbs and he would take me climbing....

 

[Dw725]

I've been a few times with some friends that are ex military.

I'm terrified of heights as well. Going over that edge backwards is a hell of a rush!

Good times man

 

[CrispyRockClimber]

@Rockclimber another sucked into the rock addiction lol. Take it easy big guy all that weight and strength....
Watch Massive Rock Fall Trundle in Spain - Gripped Magazine
Im mostly joking around but when I go climbing I'm the big guy in the group at 170 lol and I'm always ripping stuff out that the lil guys daggle on.

Forget climbing - the climbing coach I sat next to on the plane was about my height (6' even) but probably 130 or so pounds. Thin as a rail. Strong handshake though. ;-)

Go back to your thread... Fucking reps that want to be members. GTFO.

Repelling is cool. Now add bad guys with guns and 80lbs strapped to your back and a rifle and u got a fun time.

 

[Senorman]

not sure about climbing yet. He said climbing is crazier.

No man, repelling is way fucking scarier, as you lean your ass backwards at the top of a 100' cliff and then try to trust equipment that you don't fully understand. With climbing, (top-roping) you can climb 5' off the ground, tell your belayer you're going to fall, they'll take out any slack in the rope, then you let go of the rock, fall maybe a foot or two due to rope stretch, all the while you're waist high above the ground. Helps you learn to trust the equipment.
