Six months of Rock Climbing — here is what actually changed

I started Rock Climbing six months ago with zero background in the sport. The first few weeks were humbling — I couldn't do dynos properly and had no idea what bouldering even meant. My coach kept pulling me back to fundamentals, which was frustrating at the time but clearly the right call.

By month three something shifted. how it builds problem-solving under pressure. That was the moment I understood why people stick with this. The harness investment was worthwhile — don't cheap out on that. expensive trad climbing gear is real and took me longer than I expected to work through. If you're thinking about starting, just go. The learning curve is real but so are the rewards.
