Climb Rooster Rock

08/15/19

This is the only rock I've climbed in my life. When I was about 20, I ignorantly free climbed it because of the story my dad told me when I was a kid about he and his buddy climbing it. I always had it in the back of my mind that I would climb it. It seemed easy going up and I must have never looked down until I reached the summit because I don't recall any issues on the way up. Once I got to the summit and looked down I was completely freaked out. My knees were shaking so bad at that point that i thought a helicopter was going to need to come rescue me. Somehow I calmed myself down enough to make my way back down. I understand it's not a difficult climb if you're a rock climber but not real smart on my part. Now that I'm fifty and reflecting back 30 years, I think I might look into climbing it with some sort of climbing group so I can safely climb it and enjoy the view from the top this time!
