Dear SJC Climbing Wall Staff,
I had a great time and also had an intense workout on my recent visit to the climbing wall on Thursday, Oct. 21. One of the great things I noticed right away, and liked, was the well maintained and proper equipment SJC climbing wall had. It’s always good to know you’re safe when doing things like climbing. I was impressed with the user friendly color coded harnesses and brand-new looking ropes. Another excellent thing I noticed was the friendly and knowledgeable staff. I liked how you guys guided us step-by-step on putting on our harnesses and showed us, my classmates, how to properly tie the correct knots. I also liked that you showed us how important communication and team work are when climbing. An example is how we were yelling out key words such as “belay on”, “on belay”, and checking each other’s harnesses, equipment, knots, and belaying one another. It takes a lot of trust to depend on someone else with your life/well-being. This is one exercise that depends on trust.
The climbing itself was fun. From easy to difficult, the wall had it. I got to see what I was capable of doing. It is a great forearm and just overall body workout. It tests your body control, arms and even fingers strength. Not only was it a good workout and fun time but it also was a good confidence and self esteem builder. Because when you first see it, it looks overwhelming but once you do it and succeed the feelings awesome. Once I made it to the top I felt a great sense of accomplishment and it felt great.
Going to the climbing wall was an overall without a doubt good time and experience. I would like to thank you and the other friendly staff for all their help and time.
Thank You,
Jose Aragon/ IPOP Student
