Have you ever gone rock climbing? Indoor or outdoor?
 
Yes, both. But not at the same time :P

My secondary school had a "rock" climbing wall outside. I spent a few hours of PE staring at it and occasionally climbing up a bit.
 
I've done it indoors. It can be fun, but only for 1-2 hours. Any longer and it's gets boring imo.
 
I've done it once or twice, not really my thing but some people out there really like it!
 
Both as it was part of the rescue training program I had to take. We would go twice a week for 3 weeks for 2 hours. The weather would determine if we climbed inside or outside. As it turned out, we climbed more inside than outside.

Ever had to use it during a rescue?

You must be in good shape because after 1-2 hours, the word "tired" would come to my mind, not "boring" :P

Well half the time I'd be on the ground making sure a friend doesn't fall face first into the ground, so it's not that tiring.

How would you make sure that happens? Are you going to catch him if the ropes snap? :P

Oh yeah, I see. The rock climbing wall at my old gym had a different harness system.
 
Aww, that's half the fun. If they're not fast enough to keep the rope stretched, you can "fall down" and catapult your friend face first into the wall. :P

... Yeah we got banned from that place. xD
