Saw the real Spiderman today, not Tobey Maguire at theaters, but Joel Cortez, my brother-in-law at the rock climbing gym, Touchstone Concord. He works at their gym in San Francisco and came down to take a few of us indoor rock climbing.
It was fun but harder than it looks. We took our turns on various routes than watched Joel show us how it's supposed to be done which made us look more like the amateurs we are. According to Joel, it's not about brute strength but also agility, center of gravity, positioning, and using your legs not only your arms and shoulders. When he's not climbing indoors, he's traveling around to National Parks across the country to do the real thing outdoors.
We plan to climb again soon.
