Nintendo hasn't officially announced Rock N' Roll Climber for the Wii yet. Australia's government ratings board did. Today, thanks to the ESRB, we now have a good idea of what the game is.
Unsurprisingly, Rock N' Roll Climber is a rock climbing game. The ESRB description reads: "This is a rock climbing game in which players must climb up various formations within a time limit. Players navigate rocks and walls by grabbing onto divots and edges and positioning themselves to ensure they do not fall off."
Yes, it's very straightforward. And no, no word on when the roll climbing portion comes into play. If this is Vitei's WiiWare game that uses the Wii Balance Board for its control method, we'll be interested to see how that works for rock scaling.

Yangshuo has a natural  advantage for rock climbing because there are hundreds of Karst Hills in Yangshuo, many of which are so steep that they are suitable for rock climbing. There are many rock climbing shops in Yangshuo, if you book a service from them, they offer the equipments, and coach services too.

Make sure you get some coaching though.... :o)

Rock climbing

This is climb is approximately 6,000 feet high and is roughly a 5/9 in difficulty. Most of the climb involves hiking with various spots to climb. There are plenty of cliffs, places to rest, walk around, and then get back to climbing. I lived in Saltillo Coahuila Mexico for a year. While I was there I came to discover quite a few places to climb. The climbs are located in the mountains about an hours drive from Monterrey Mexico.

Why Freelancing Is Freakin’ Hard

1,142diggsdigg Despite how magnificent it can be to work for yourself, there are some things about freelancing that just plain suck. And no matter where you specialize, these vicious drawbacks usually find a way of asserting themselves.

Go Rock Climbin

Rock climbing is one of the fastest growing outdoor activities. The youthful generations of today have sought out external challenges, pushing physical limits to the extreme while enjoying exercise, fresh air, and abeautiful view after the climb.

Orange County boasts a number of natural and artificial locations for rock climbing.
1. In Costa Mesa, California, there is a sports climbing facility called Rockreation. There are also two other locations in West Los Angeles, and Salt Lake City, Utah. The Costa Mesa location offers a 12,000 square foot sculpted terrain for climbing. There is also a bouldering cave, top rope challenges, and cardiovascular training equipment. This venue is also a popular spot for birthday parties, school events, and office retreats for team building. Instruction is available. Annual memberships are available for adamant climbers for around $600.
2. Rock walls in local gyms are something to look into. Many major parks will not allow climbers without experience to venture up the face of a cliff. Many gyms like 24 Hour Fitness and Bally have installed rock walls in some of their franchise locations. Cal State Fullerton recently completed and opened a new student recreational center, which allows students to climb for free and even offer instruction on certain days of the week. Rock walls offer instruction and provide valuable lessons and techniques without the risk.
3. Many YMCA’s in Southern California offer rock wall challenges. Laguna Niguel is one such establishment which offers a sizeable rock wall for the general public to take on in their spare time.
4. If you’re up for a real challenge, you can rent kayaks from Southwind rentals and paddle out to a rock once you have experience and safety training. These places offer equipment if you do not wish to purchase your own for the casual outdooorsmen.
5. Lastly, Partyopolis in Lake Forest provides a learning environment for kids who may want to experience various levels of climbing challenges.
Start off at a gym or indoor location, build your skills, and then assess your physical abilities. Be sure to know your own strength, stamina, and undergo safety training before attempting any outdoor climbs. Travel with friends, and never venture out alone without notifying anyone.
Climbing can be a great way to challenge yourself and develop upper body strength. Climbing is a humble activity that can be great for building patience, strategy, and strength to advance your skills as you ascend in elevation.

Sydney Photo Friday: Illegal Rock-Climbing Makes for a Great Shot!

You’re not technically allowed to climb Balls Head, but this gutsy rock climber did. Thankfully he captured the moment so we don’t have to do it too and risk being thrown in gaol! What an amazing silhouette this is with the Sydney harbour Bridge and Opera House in the background!
