Climbing is more of a newer pursuit for me. I only started in August of 2010, rapelling at that. I started toproping by September at Little Lost Cove and The Chimneys. By late September, I started lead climbing at Table Rock and climbed Dirty Crack at Stone. I continued lead climbing at Table Rock nearly every weekend until late November. From then until March, I climbed the rock quarry at Rocky Face in the Brushies due to the excellent winter climbing. I started climbing heavily at Stone Mountain in March, with the goal of climbing every route. I usually climb with one partner and I always lead. I have not posted most of my climbs because I am not certain of the dates. I really enjoy climbing and do it for my own personal satisfaction, not bragging rights. My partner and I learned everything we know from reading and experimentation. I have found many climbers to be friendly and very helpful, especially at Stone Mountain. However, I have encountered many arrogant climbers that almost caused me to quit climbing before I really even started. I think it is important to remember that everyone had to start somewhere and that being ugly and condescending to beginners is not a noble trait. I am always open to helping others, especially those new to the sport.
Proper climbing ethics are important to me and I try to always do my climbs properly. I never add additional fixed protection or use devices that could cause damage to the rock. I also never use my gear or other things such as trees to assist with my climbing.
