Good sesh at the Deer Creek Bouldering site in Rocklin (Few blocks away from the Kelly's - right on Pacific St next to Speedee Oil). Met this couple who was there for their first time - they only ever go to the indoor facility at Granite Arches on Highway 50. It's interesting, what if you only ran on the treadmill - your whole life - then tried running "outdoors" for the first time. What would that look like and how would that feel? Even though I've never climbed indoors yet - one thing I've noticed about folks who only climb indoors is that they lack the imagination with their footwork. In other words, indoors, they don't really have to think about their foot, or even hand placement as everything is firm and situated. However, outdoors, the imagination is engaged and you really have to think about your foot and hand placement. I'd imagine it would be the same way going from a treadmill to all of a sudden being dropped into El Dorado Canyon. haha A difference experience and skill set needed!
