What is Real World Climbing?
Real World Climbing where Rock Climbing meets Real Life.
For most of us, Rock Climbing is a recreational activity. We're not going to make a living from our climbing prowess... but, it is still so addicting to see those incremental improvements.
We find so many positives in our lives when climbing is in it. Real World Climbing is here to be a resource for us all to continue our path up this Climb called Life.
Am I a Real World Climber?
Real World Climbing is a community of Rock Climbers. Specifically climbers that lead busy lives with lots of Real World responsibilities. Rock Climbers that still want to improve in their climbing despite limited time and resources. Climbers that want to get the most out of each day on the rock.
Does this sound like you? You've found the right place! You are a Real World Climber!
What will I find here?
Real World Climbing began in 2013 as a blog, sharing thoughts and strategies in a written medium. We transitioned to video content in 2021, focusing on Home Climbing walls as a tool for the everyday climber to improve consistently. Today, Real World Climbing continues to provide FREE content on YouTube.
The pillars of focus for Real World Climbing are:
° Home Climbing Walls
° Climbing Training with a Busy Life
° Community and Accountability
