Good:-Sense of achievment: You complete a climb that you didnt think you could do. It is a great feeling and you will just sit there and smile b/c of your accomplishment-Building a trusting relationship: You will build trusting relationships with the people you climb with. Keep in mind that they literally have your life in their hands and visa versa-Being outdoors/intouch with nature: If you are climbing outdoors it is usually off of the beaten path so it can be just you and nature. This can instill the realization of the beauty of the world and may get you to ask yourself the impact you are making on this beauty.-Exercise: You will be working muscles that you never knew you had. Legs, abs, back arms shoulders all get stronger. These muscles are always good to keep in shape for any sort of activity-Balance: The sport develops balance through different body positioning as you work your way up the rock.-Unplug: Again b/c you are in the middle of no where, you can become completely unplugged from the outside world. No cellphones or work trying to get a hold of you.-Variety: There are always places to go and climb. Get bored with your usual climbs, then go somewhere else that has similar difficult levels but different routes-Traveling: You can travel the world and climb. See amazing places that you never thought you would go before.-Improved problem solving skills: Climbing is about figureing out how to climb to the top of a route. Sometimes it is straightforward, other times it is a puzzle of body positioning and finding the holds that will allow you to climb the route.Bad:-Injury/Death: Even if you are the most careful person in the world and double/triple check everything, there is always still a chance of things going wrong that are beyond your control. This can lead to severe falls. The list of how/why you can get hurt is too long to even begin listing here. -Unplugged: because you are unplugged and have no cell reception, this can be a bad thing in case someone needs emergency assistance.Do the risks outweigh the benefits? That is up to you to decide.
