I am Catherine. I love rock very much. I mean I like climbing mountains not rock music. I like touching
the rock and reading the face of the rock. I like it a lot. I feel at home on the side of a mountain. Climbing is
only my hobby. I have two long holidays every year. I often climb mountains during the holidays. I am
different from other climbers. I often climb the mountains without ropes (绳子). I climb many mountains in
many countries but most often in the A mountains near D City, where I live.
I started climbing near my home in Paris when I was five years old. I was good at climbing at that time.
I joined Climb Club to learn more when I was fourteen years old. I won my first competition in Italy in 1995.
Three years ago I tried to find a new route (路线) up the b Mountain near D City. The climb took eleven
days and at last the snow was so heavy that I could not move. I'm going to try again this year.
