Adam’s Climbing Chronicles
Staying Strong Even Through the Pandemic ADAM’S CLIMBING CHRONICLES
While COVID-19 has kept many of us inside, for our team member Adam and his wife, Ashleigh, it’s meant getting creative about how to spend time outside. Adam and Ashleigh are avid rock climbers, something they started doing a little over a year ago after discovering the sport combined both of their interests. “I had a gym membership, and Ashleigh had a yoga membership, and she occasionally did weights with me. Then we went and climbed, and we realized it married our two hobbies,” Adam says. “It’s like yoga and weightlifting combined. It has the same mental elements as yoga, as well as breathing, and it also requires strength. Ashleigh is getting stronger to get better, and I’m having to get more flexible.” Over the last few months, the two of them have found new places to go climbing while the climbing gym has been closed. “Since we were going to the climbing gym four
times a week, we had to get outside to do something. We’re just not indoor people. Every single weekend, we spend most of our day outside. It’s been challenging to be in a tiny apartment.” To overcome this, they’ve explored outdoor climbing areas around Texas, as well as in neighboring states. “We went to the Wichita mountains, and that was nice,” Adam says. “What we do is sports climbing, where you tie into a rope and harness and clip into protection as you go. There are bolts, and you’re hanging from the protective gear off of bolts and clipping in.” Recently, Adam and Ashleigh have gotten into trad climbing, where it’s only the rock face to hold onto. “The way you protect yourself is by placing cams and nuts — trad gear,” Adam explains. “It adds a different element of fear. You have to have that knowledge of how to do it and feel confident that if you fall, you’ll hold.” In
addition to going to Wichita, Ashleigh and Adam have made trips to Reimers here in Texas, which Adam calls “some of the best sports climbing in the area.” Adam says that through the pandemic, by getting in workouts at home and finding places to get outside and climb, they’ve both been able to maintain and even build on their strength, though he shares, “Ashleigh has been improving faster than I have.”
