Being out on the rocks and climbing with your group of friends or family is rewarding both mentally and physically. Along with the positive energy of your group Uprising's guides create a supportive environment. Your main support is found in the focus and initiative of the present task at hand; deciding where to move next and breathing into the current situation. Additional support lie's within belayer (person who holds the rope), by asking for what you need the teamwork created supports all the group members. Be fond of climbing and it will be fond of you...and bring the kids!
