Rock Climbing Video Summary

       Assignment of the day is to find a rock climbing video that describes details to make a good summary. The video I found on rock climbing had showed many different examples on how someone rock climb. In the this video, the climber is looking at the rock to determine what he will have to do to climb this rock and different techniques he will have to use to succeed in his climbing. Uses a good amount of chalk on his hands to grip onto the rock so he will not fall during the time he is trying to climb. When starting off he puts more chalk on his hands then grips his hands on the rock and pulls his feet up but not together, his feet are spreed apart to balance him out to be able to climb up higher onto the rock. Moves out his hands from each crack to get a better grip to stay in the position he needs to climb. Grips against a rock and pulls him self over to go to his side to find a better spot so he can climb up. As he grips onto a bigger rock to move him self up he puts more chalk on his hands to grip.
I've noticed while learning about rock climbing that to be a rock climber you will need to have a lot of upper body strength to pull yourself up when climbing. Maintain your body, strength and your health is important to be able to keep up with yourself while you are rock climbing. Or else you will get tired and fall because you are wore out right away. Need your mind to be focused at all times to make sure the climber is confident and so they do not get frustrated and give up.
