Outdoor Sports – Climbing Dangers
Are you thinking of taking up climbing as a sport? It can be an exhilarating and rewarding sport. Like most, you probably think that falling is the biggest danger especially if you’ve never climbed before. With all of the modern climbing equipment, falling is actually one of the least likely accidents. Falling is a risk but there are many other injuries that are more common. You should be aware of these risks and how to prevent them before you get involved in mountain or rock climbing.
Gravity is something that our bodies are used to in normal day-to-day living but when you climb you’re fighting gravity even harder. You use your fingers, hands, feet and limbs to fight the forces of gravity. To add to this, you are usually climbing in extreme temperatures and in jagged terrain.
Our bones are connected by thick tissues called ligaments. They’re not as elastic as our muscles so when they’re stretched and put under strain they can tear or come away from the bone. This type of injury is called collateral ligament strain and for climbers it is most typically in the fingers. It is caused by repeatedly pulling your body up with just a few fingers. Even mild cases result in pain in the fingers and limited function.
Tendons attach muscles to bones and are also not very elastic so they are prone to strain and damage. A medical condition called Lateral Epicondylitis afflicts many climbers in the forearm and elbow. Repetitive use of grabbing and pulling with the arms creates strain in these tendons and can lead to damage.
Physical injuries from continued strain are not the only common injuries. Debris and rocks can be loosened and fall on you and other climbers. There is also the threat of large scale hazards, including avalanches. They are most likely to occur in the changes of seasons from winter to spring. While this kind of danger is rare, you should be aware of the hazards.
As stated before, falls are not the most common occurrence for climbers but they can happen and proper precautions need to be taken. Falls are more likely when you are tired, dehydrated and exposed to extreme temperatures. In these situations your coordination is bad, your muscles are more fatigued and your judgement is poor.
Mountain and rock climbing can be an exhilarating and rewarding sport and make for a great outdoor vacation. Any sport has risks involved, though climbing risks can lead to more serious injuries. All of these risks should be considered before you take up climbing so you know how to avoid these injuries and dangers.

Help answer the question about outdoor vacation
Where should I go on vacation next year if I want to do lots of outdoor activities?The deal is, I'm a sophomore in college so I don't have a bunch of money to spend. I'm from Missouri and I don't want to go anywhere south of here. I'm looking more for places with forests and lakes and mountains and stuff to do outdoors. Like hiking or kayaking. I have a few ideas already, but I'd like more. Thanks!

I suggest either Fujicolor PRO400H (ISO 400) or Kodak Portra 400VC (ISO 400, Vivid Color). Both are fine grain fast film and if your BF is a beginner it allows a higher shutter speed at a given f-stop. His success rate will be much higher.

I have bought from all of the above sellers and been completely satisfied.
If you plan to go to the Grand Canyon, consider also checking out the canyon country of southern Utah. Do the "Grand Loop" to see Zion, Bryce Canyon and Arches National Parks. Bryce Canyon is one of the most fantastic sights in the southwestern U.S.

You can cross the Colorado River at Lake Powell

Ruby's Inn at the entrance to Bryce is where everyone stays.

Utah Route 12 is one of the most scenic roads in the country. Red Canyon and Big Thunder Road in Dixie National Forest is the inspiration for Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain (see the picture I took in link below)

A must see is Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park
http://www.nps.gov/seki/index.htm
There are many trails that connect the Sequoia groves.

Besides the Sequoias, there is a rare marble cave in the park (most caverns are limestone). Crystal Cave is accessed by a picturesque half-mile trail that leads to the Merced river valley.

Moro Rock is a great hike. You climb nearly 400 stone steps to the top of the barren rock (6,725-foot elevation)

Enter the park from the south, CA Route 198. It doesn't allow RV's or trailers so there is less traffic. It's a mountain road that climbs thousands of feet, has great hairpin turns and the views are spectacular.

There is lodging at Three Rivers, CA and it is close to the entrance.

BTW if you plan to go to more then one National Park, buy the annual pass, it's cheaper and it's good for a year.

Why not ask a neighbor, or pay a local kid to do it? It's outdoors so they don't have to come into your home.

my cat loved to travel and would sit on my lap while I drove. that's really not a good idea. animals should be kept in pet carriers while the car is moving. feed him in the carrier. stop every couple of hours at a roadside rest stop and let him out of the carrier to use a litter box. you can put a harness and leash on him, but he probably wouldn't like that. he might like the summer home. he'll spend the first day or 2 sniffing all around and exploring his new surroundings. how far are you going? how long will it take? it will take longer with the cat if you make frequent stops.
Go to a resort. My parents have a timeshare at Lawrence Welk Resorts in Escondido, California, and I love it there. It's very kid friendly and close to a lot of places like the San Diego Zoo, Legoland, Wild Animal Park, Sea World, etc. I have to have a full kitchen and washer and dryer now with two kids and especially when they were little babies. Hope this helps!
