- Intro to Rock Climbing, Part 2 By: JB Mills
There are many challenging extreme sports but nothing will challenge you physically and mentally as much as rock climbing. Rock climbing is a test of stamina, patience, skill, and willpower. Your hands will feel like giving up right into the middle of the climb on a vertical rock face but you can’t stop. You just have to get the strength from somewhere and move on. The moment you lose focus, it could very well mean the end of it all. This is how and when accidents happen.

- Intro to Ice Climbing By: JB Mills
For those of you who just can’t get enough of the rush of outdoor extreme sports, ice climbing is something that you may want to look into. It is among the most adventurous and physically taxing of the many extreme sports. If you have any experience with rock climbing, you will be at ease a little bit ahead of the game when it comes to getting started with ice climbing. The same basic principles apply, though the equipment is a little different.
Most ice climbing sessions are planned out long in advance, and taken as a day-long tour. There are many different possibilities for climbing surfaces – basically, anything frozen and non-horizontal is fair game. Some of the most popular include frozen waterfalls, rock surfaces with frozen water flow, or even icebergs. Some of these are very dangerous, and should only be attempted by the most experienced of ice climbers or professionals.

- Combining Skiing And Mountain Biking By: Phil Smart
Skiing has always been a part of extreme sport. Mountain biking is also a type of extreme sports and is hugely popular in the Rockies of the United States.
