Lead Rock

Climbing

“In climbing you’re trying to find the path of least resistance within the obstacle.”

- Lynn Hill -

Are you familiar and comfortable climbing in a top rope scenario and want to challenge yourself physically and mentally?  Then the next logical step in rock climbing is to lead the climb.
