the diary of a [newbie] rock climber

i've recently discovered the intoxication that is rock climbing. what follows is a collection of random thoughts, experiences and images related to my newbie rock climbing adventures. note: climbing is a dangerous activity. these are only my opinions and shouldn't be substituted for good sense and education. climb safely and at your own risk.

bouldr.net - a community-driven resource with potential

climbing resource sites that rely on public contributions are a great idea. power to the climbers. the challenge of course is getting enough people to regularly add interesting and relevant information. one such website that i came across recently is bouldr.net. the site allows users to contribute photos, beta, and other information about climbing problems from around the world. while the site needs a lot more information to be super helpful it still has potential.

the site's visual map, powered by google, is a pretty neat tool. as of today, there are around 30 problems identified in north america and around 300 in europe.
