00:02.985 --> 00:05.100
(dubstep music)

00:05.100 --> 00:06.790
- I'm MC three Tyler Waters,

00:06.790 --> 00:09.243
and I'm stationed on the
USS Dwight.D Eisenhower.

00:13.160 --> 00:15.050
I started rock-climbing
on a whim honestly,

00:15.050 --> 00:16.400
I looked at my room mate one day,

00:16.400 --> 00:18.640
and I was like, I'm kinda
bored let's go rock-climbing.

00:18.640 --> 00:21.673
And it just kinda stuck with
me, I just really enjoyed it.

00:24.180 --> 00:27.320
In the navy, they promote
physical fitness a lot,

00:27.320 --> 00:30.100
y'know we have to take
the PRT every six months,

00:30.100 --> 00:31.820
and this is a really good way for me,

00:31.820 --> 00:32.992
trick myself into working out,

00:32.992 --> 00:34.420
cos I don't like going to the gym,

00:34.420 --> 00:36.180
I don't like lifting weights and stuff,

00:36.180 --> 00:38.770
so I come here because it's a lot of fun,

00:38.770 --> 00:41.500
and I get a really, really
good work out out of it.

00:41.500 --> 00:43.450
Plus I get to meet a lot of new people.

00:44.800 --> 00:46.680
So when you're working
on a section of the wall,

00:46.680 --> 00:49.940
or a problem, you can
end up working on them,

00:49.940 --> 00:53.180
for a couple hours, to
a couple of weeks even,

00:53.180 --> 00:55.540
and it kinda discouraging at times,

00:55.540 --> 00:57.160
if you're not able to get it.

00:57.160 --> 00:59.270
But when you finally do get one,

00:59.270 --> 01:01.070
that you've been working on for a while.

01:01.070 --> 01:03.920
The rush that you get from that is absurd,

01:03.920 --> 01:06.203
it's part of what makes doing this so fun,

01:07.160 --> 01:09.170
and your being on the wall,

01:09.170 --> 01:11.400
it's kinda like everything
else disappears at times.

01:11.400 --> 01:14.923
because you're just so focused
on what's going on with you.

01:16.580 --> 01:17.810
I think service men and women,

01:17.810 --> 01:20.470
are drawn to rock-climbing because,

01:20.470 --> 01:21.410
it's a really good way to just,

01:21.410 --> 01:23.210
maintain your physical fitness.

01:23.210 --> 01:25.200
And it's different from all the,

01:25.200 --> 01:28.610
let's go do pushups or
sit-ups and go for a run,

01:28.610 --> 01:31.430
and it can be a really
good social interaction,

01:31.430 --> 01:33.700
between people you work with,

01:33.700 --> 01:36.880
and it's a really good way
for you to just get out there,

01:36.880 --> 01:38.230
and just try something new.
