    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.

took eleven days and at last the snow was so heavy that I could not move. I’m going to try again

this year.
