I love rock climbing why? First of all because it gives you the freedom to climg without getting in trouble unless you fool around. I started climbing 3 years ago climbing off and on before taking a break for about a year. My best friend got me back into it at the end of October. Since then that’s  where you will find me at least six nights a week.  Ahh freedom! The grading system is really complicated for bouldering it starts at v0- and then v0, v0+ v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6, v7 and it goes all the way up to v16 at the moment v16 is the hardest grade, the holds are about 3 quarters of an inch off the wall. I am currently bouldering v6 v7. I have done a v8 but it was relly hard and it took a long time. Now time for the rope climbing grade system it starts at 5.5 then 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 and 5.9 then it goes into 5.10a. tThe letters A B C D tell you what grade of 5.10 it is so it goes 10a 10b 10c and then 10d we usually dont say 5. whatever the grade its just to much to say. Then it goes on to 5.11 and then whatever the lettar grade it goes up to 5.16D at the moment. I climb 5.12ABCD and on a good day 5.13A. My goal is that I can be on the national team for canada and go around the world and do the worlds hardest climbs. And be one of the best climbers in the world. In a few years my best friend Chloe and I would like to go around the world to some place to climb I would like to go to Italy, Spain or Austria.
