Video Edition: Rock Climbing in Austin, Texas
Blog: Tales from Technomadia - 9 June 2009
By: Cherie Ve Ard
I grew up in South Austin, not too far from the Barton Creek Greenbelt. In fact, we could hike to it from our house. It was a wonderful place to grow up and be out in nature, but yet part of a progressive urban city.
My brother still lives in Austin, so it’s a frequent destination for us. My brother is also a pretty extreme adventure junkie and has introduced me to lots of activities I wouldn’t have considered before, like skydiving. His latest hobby has been rock climbing, which brings him often back to the Barton Creek Greenbelt we grew up by.
I couldn’t bring myself to being excited about this one, but Chris wanted to give it a try. So on one of the rare non-rainy days during our time in Austin, up a rock face my brother took Chris.
I filmed.
