Any other free runners here on the forums? Parkour? What about rock climbers? Do you go with ropes or live dangerously and go without them?

Some other questions:
Highest thing you've climbed?
Most difficult climb?
Most interesting climb?
Number of people you usually climb with?

I'm very new to free running but have climbed a lot of buildings. I'm still working on adding flair to it all, but at the moment I'm mostly concerned with not breaking something. I usually climb buildings and other man made things ( cranes, fire escapes, storage stuff, etc. ) but occasionally see a cool little cliff or something and give that a go. I can't tell you the number of times I've been kicked out of a place and try to explain I only climbed the building to see if I could. As narcissistic as it may sound, I enjoy when I'm climbing a building in public and people stop and watch. Luckily I haven't been arrested yet.

If anyone has ever wanted to try it out, you really don't need anything but working limbs to start. Just get out there and do it. It's a great work out, too!

I'd love to start parkour, but I live in a rural area, so unfortuntely there aren't too many things to climb (except trees and abondoned farms).

I like climbing things as well, but I'm the exact opposite of you in the sense that I can't bear it if there's a whole group watching me. The highest thing I've climbed would just have to be a plain old indoor rock climbing wall, but I like parkour. Most difficult would easily be the wall of a graveyard I once tried to get over. It's edges where jagged, so it was tough on the hands (I wasn't wearing gloves) and it was pretty high. I like climbing alone, but if I'm doing indoor, then of course, I need a belay.

I climbed a tree when I was 11, maybe, and it was like 50+ feet tall I couldn't get to the top because the branches were out of reach and/or too weak.
I love climbing things and I'd prefer not to use ropes, more intense. :)
