First Ascent in the rock-climbing world represents your first time conquering a new challenge.

But when his friend demanded him to tag along to a newly-discovered hobby \u2014 bouldering, he decided to give it a shot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAnd I just fell in love with it,\u201d said Dan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Dan, bouldering and climbing are different from other forms of workouts because they require your mind to be sharp and active the whole time. And because each \u201cproblem\u201d can only be solved by using the designated path with rocks in the same color, the experience is surprisingly similar to a giant interactive puzzle.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"cff-embed-wrap cff-post-embed-wrap\">\n<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\n<p><script async=\"1\" defer=\"1\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v12.0\" nonce=\"lvkBS8XU\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-post cff-embed cff-post-embed\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/firstascentblock37\/photos\/a.287058835117648\/1035423756947815\/\" data-width=\"750\">\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/firstascentblock37\/photos\/a.287058835117648\/1035423756947815\/?type=3\" class=\"fb-xfbml-parse-ignore\">\n<p>Starting the week of strong with 15 new boulders on the Bean for you from V0 to V9.

The chances of you finding another workout community that is so passionate and supportive are quite slim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Know a climber? You bet that person would be brainwashing you until you go with them to a rock climbing gym. Just getting started? Here you won\u2019t be called an imposter even if you\u2019re just dangling on the first rock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Dan said: \u201cRock-climbing is not about competing against each other but encouraging others to succeed. We know it\u2019s hard and we expect challenges and even failures. It\u2019s probably because we\u2019ve gone through all the tough struggles (and still are struggling as we challenge ourselves), so we only want others to have the best experience and discover the fun that got us hooked with climbing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Built upon this concept of community, First Ascent has a point system that works similar to a referral program.
