That’s so not true: 2 myths about rock climbing

“It is a very dangerous sport.” Like driving, swimming, and most human activities, rock climbing is inherently dangerous. But with the right equipment and an experienced guide, it is totally safe. Cantabaco has been a climbing destination for more than two decades now and there have been no accidents so far. Minor cuts and scraped knees do happen.

“It requires hardcore skills.” Although it requires a certain level of fitness, outdoor climbing is not as demanding as it seems. Those who want to test the waters first before going out there can go to Vertigo Climbing Center at MetroSports Lahug. They have an indoor climbing facility and guides who can teach the basics.
