Bucket lists: they’re something we all have. You know that long list of things that you’d absolutely love to try but never get around to because you don’t have the money or the energy?
Why not make 2013 the year that you finally get to cross something off that list? Trying something new can add a breath of fresh air to your life. It can help you to figure out the things you like, the things you don’t like and it can shake things up and add some excitement to your life.
This week we’re looking at rock climbing!
_______________
Is 2013 the year you climb your first mountain
What?
Ireland is made up of some amazing mountains and cliffs and did you know that we also have a thriving rock climbing scene?
Broadly speaking, rock climbing involves climbing up steep rock formations. Climbers use safety equipment to help them on their way, but a certain level of strength, endurance and mental control is needed in order to cope with the various challenges offered up by rock climbing.
Whther it’s for the thrill, the adventure of to simply challenge yourself physically, rock climbing is not only good for the body, it’s also good for the mind and the soul. Plus it offers you a chance to take in some of Ireland’s beautiful landscapes from a bird’s eye view.
Fancy seeing how tough you really are and having an amazing time while doing so? Then why not make 2013 the year you go rock climbing?
