I got started because I always climbed things as a kid. According to my mum, when I couldnt even walk I would manage to clear the 5ft fence in the backyard, thanks to some stuff against it, which she used as my playpen, end up in the neighbours yard, then get returned via the front door and an unhappy neighbour.

Then I grew up on a farm with massive sugar(?) gums and spent most of my youth up them pretending I was one of the characters from the movie K2.

But I never pursued it for some stupid reason. Then 6 months ago I ended up in THIS town with nothing to do, and I started thinking about things I wanted to do. Climbing of course popped to mind and I checked a map, Arapiles 1.5 hours away. Ripper.

Started thread on chockstone, joined the VCC, went on a beginners day, did more and more.

Im sure thats the same story for everyone
