BOULDERING GYM. FOR ALL THOSE NEW YEAR'S
RESOLUTIONS, TAKE US THROUGH
THIS WORK OUT.
>>
>> Reporter: YOU SAID YOU GUYS ARE CATCHING UP WITH CASSIDY
NORMALLY.
NORMALLY.
NORMALLY. THIS TIME, YOU ARE ACTUALLY
CATCHING UP WITH CASSIDY
BECAUSE WE ARE CLIMBING UP A
LITTLE BIT.
LITTLE BIT. WE ARE IN NORTHEAST PORTLAND.
WE HAVE IRIS, A TRAINED BOULDER.
SO, YOU KNOW ROCKCLIMBING.
WHEN I THINK OF ROCKCLIMBING,
LIKE I USED TO GO TO BIRTHDAY
PARTIES AS A KID, AND YOU WERE
ALWAYS TETHERED TO SOMETHING.
BOULDERING IS NOT THAT.
YOU ARE JUST KIND OF FREE
CLIMBING.
CLIMBING.
CLIMBING. >> YOU ARE CLIMBING WITHOUT A
ROPE.
ROPE.
ROPE. IT'S USUALLY NOT AS HIGH, AND
YOU ARE TRYING TO ESSENTIALLY
GET UP A SMALLER, OLDER TYPE
SURFACE.
SURFACE.
SURFACE. IT'S THE HARDEST WAY POSSIBLE.
IT'S A CHALLENGE.
>> Reporter: ALSO THIS IS ONE
OF THE EASIER LEVELS.
ANYONE OF ANY LEVEL CAN COME
LEARNED HERE.
LEARNED HERE. >> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> WE ARE GOING TO TURN TO THE
BLUE ONE, WHICH IS LEVEL 0. YOU
SAID IT'S NOT THE LOWEST.
>> WE HAVE BASIC OR BEGINNER.
>> Reporter: IT'S ZERO BUT THEN
IT SAYS ALL FEET.
SO I HAVE TO HAVE MY HANDS ON
THE BLUE, BUT THEN MY FEET CAN
BE ANYWHERE?
BE ANYWHERE? >> YOUR FEET CAN GO ANYWHERE
BUT YOUR HANDS GO ON THE BLUE.
>> IT'S A GOOD THING WE HAVE
LIKE AN HOUR FOR THIS SEGMENT
SO I CAN GO AS HIGH AS I CAN.
I HAVE TO START WITH MY HANDS
HERE, AND THEN SOMEHOW GET THE
FEET ON IT.
I'M ALREADY FALLING OFF.
THERE IS NOTHING TO PUT MY FEET
ON.
ON.
ON. >>
ON. >> YOU'VE GOT IT.
>> Reporter: OKAY.
>> YOU WANT TO GET YOUR FEET UP
MORE THAN YOU THINK YOU HAVE TO.
THAT'S NICE AND STURDY.
I'LL SPOT YOU.
>> Reporter: TWO PEOPLE COME BY
THEMSELVES, COME IN GROUPS?
HOW DO THEY DO IT?
>> PEOPLE CAN COME BY
THEMSELVES.
THEMSELVES. I THINK IT IS FUN TO CLIMB WITH
A GROUP OF PEOPLE.
>> Reporter: MI ALL THE WAY UP?
I AM GOING TO COME BACK DOWN
BECAUSE WE WANTED TO SEE IF WE
COULD GET A SHOT FROM ABOVE.
WE HAVE NEVER ATTEMPTED THIS ON
LIVE TELEVISION.
LIVE TELEVISION. WE ARE GOING TO GO UP A LITTLE
HIGHER.
HIGHER.
HIGHER. IRIS IS LIKE WHY DID WE LET YOU
IN HERE?
IN HERE?
IN HERE? >> YOU ARE DOING GREAT.
>> Reporter: THERE IS
PHOTOGRAPHER MIKE.
PHOTOGRAPHER MIKE. THERE IS IRIS DOWN BELOW.
HOPEFULLY, YOU CAN SEE THE
SHOT.
SHOT.
SHOT. MEANWHILE, MY ARM IS UP HERE.
IT'S ABOUT TO FALL OFF.
AM I DOING OKAY?
I AM JUST TOO SCARED TO COME
DOWN.
DOWN.
DOWN. OH
DOWN. OH MY GOSH.
PRODUCER MARTIN SAYS DO YOU SEE
THE PHOTO SHOT?
IT LOOKS PRETTY COOL.
LOOK AT THOSE PEOPLE DOING
CRAZY THINGS.
CRAZY THINGS. I AM GOING TO THROW THE PHONE
DOWN.
DOWN.
DOWN. SAFELY DROP IT TO IRIS.
SO NOW, WE CLIMB DOWN.
GOING DOWN MIGHT BE THE
SCARIEST PART.
SCARIEST PART. >> GOING DOWN IS HARD BUT IT'S
GOOD TO PRACTICE.
IT'S CALLED DOWN CLIMBING.
IT HELPS WITH TECHNIQUE AND
STRENGTH.
STRENGTH.
STRENGTH. >> Reporter: YOU ALSO JUST USE
THE BLUE ONES FOR THAT?
>> YOU CAN.
SOMETIMES,, IF YOU WANT TO DO
IT ALL THE WAY DOWN LIKE ONE UP
AND THEN ONE DOWN, IT'S A
LITTLE BIT MORE FOCUSED, BUT
YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
>> Reporter: I FEEL LIKE ALL
THESE MUSCLES WILL BE VERY
SORE, MAYBE TOMORROW, MAYBE IN
10 MINUTES.
10 MINUTES. PEOPLE CAN DO ALL KINDS OF
CLASSES AND TRAININGS.
>> IF YOU ARE JUST GETTING
STARTED, THE CLASS WE OFFER IS
AN INTRO CLASS FOR BEGINNERS,
OR EVEN IF YOU MAYBE HAVE SOME
EXPERIENCE BUT YOU'RE NOT THAT
EXPERIENCED, IT'S A BEGINNERS
CLASS, WE OFFER IT A COUPLE
TIMES A WEEK, AND AFTER YOU
COMPLETE THE CLASS YOU CAN SIGN
