Wall climbing is a great exercise and is fun activity with friends. I actually first went to Centro Athletico to play badminton. And when I saw the wall climbing facility there I was eager to try it. After few weeks I went back there with my guy friends to try it out. And man it was hard.

| Power Up! Wall Climbing at Centro Athletico |
For warm up we first tried the beginners section. It's the one at the right. It's just a simple straight up climb. After trying that we gained confidence and said to ourselves "it's not that hard" and we were so wrong.

| Beginner's Wall Climbing Section |
Being so confident I tried the advance section of the wall climbing. It was a straight climb at first but when you reach the top, it has a L shape curve. There were more experienced climbers trying to guide me on where to put my feet and hands. But it was hard to think at the same time pulling my body weight. I almost got to the top but after 2 tries my hands were really worn out.

| This was the hard part, you really need a lot of upper strength |
 |
| My foot was really cramping here |
 |
| My hands were losing grip |
If you're new to this, I bet you'll be tired after a maximum of 5 climbs. Wall climbing made me really tired and at the same time I felt good. I love pushing my body. Try it and you'll love wall climbing.
