Are your kids driving you up the wall? Some women are going vertical literally by taking part in "Women on Walls" a rock climbing class just for them!
" It's fun, it builds self confidence, it helps build trust in yourself and reliance on your skills, it's good for building friendships," Nancy Bordine explains. Bordine has been taking part in rock climbing for years, and teaches a class just for women at GT Rocks in Traverse City.
The classes geared toward women, are perfect for beginners but also challenging enough for those experienced in the sport. The goal is not only to reach the top of the climb, but also learning to lean on others.
"Your building confidence in yourself but you also have to learn how to trust someone else," Said Bordine. "It's a real community building sport and its fun."
Courtney McCatty has been rock climbing for more than nine years and is excited to introduce the sport to other women. "A lot of women realize that just because they are women, mothers, or a little older, they still have the capability to climb."
