I got into climbing way back in my 20s when visiting a local crag not far from my hometown in Czechia. But, as it goes, after a few years of a terrific time on the rock, other activities got in the way, and climbing faded away. Luckily I visited Eaglestone Rock on one cold spring weekend in 2015, got immediately hooked again, and I haven’t stopped climbing since.
