I just want to find out how you found out about climbing and what got you started in it.

I simply fell into it. I was with one of my friends and he decided we were going climbing he had an extra pair of shoes and we ended up bouldering for like 3 hours. I had no choice now I have no chance of quiting.

I got hit by a five ton truck (literally)! I was in a bad car accident in '93 & a friend recommended that I try out the local climbing wall in '96 to strengthen my upper body & take some of the stress off of my back. The strength & stretching that I got out of climbing has helped me to improve fitness level & going to different climbing areas has taken me back into the outdoors & all it has to offer

A long time ago I saw a video of whom I believe was dan osman free climbing this huge rock wall and some other stuff, since then I'd always been interested, when the possibility to get a free course at the U came up I jumped at the opportunity and here I am, now I'm hooked and can't stop.

I think there are 3 or 4 forums begun on this subject already, in fact, I think you've posted a very similar one yourself, clerma.... You might try and keep the duplication down.
