On the Rocks

Does the incredibly fast-paced world of outdoor sports make you anxious? Is your bike too nice to ride? Perhaps the abundance of trail-panache has made you self-conscious. Fortunately, there are still simple options out there where you can tone that body AND hide in the trees. Bouldering, or more appropriately, pebble wrestling, is a great fitness bump and requires nothing more than a pair of rock climbing shoes. And, if you enjoy desperate anaerobic maneuvers, even better. Here’s a look:
