Climbing Trips
I met my husband when I first started rock climbing. We would often skip school to go on climbing road trips to the U.S. Back in 1996, I remember The Red River Gorge and Miguel's Pizza Shack to be quiet and vacantÂ…if you can believe it!
Currently, we use our vacation times to explore climbing around the world.
