Slow updates

We at Vertical Rising would like to apologize for the lack of updates to the site over the past few weeks. It's been rather hectic for all of us here in the web team as Joey is having her finals (law), and King and I are still running our assignment marathon. To make matters worse, Monash University's exam period starts next week, so it's going to be difficult to keep the blog updated for the time being. But anyhow, we do hope all you readers would be patient and continue to visit us frequently! Best of luck to those who are having their examinations!

For unto us a blog is born

It was our usual weekly climb when the two of us were taking a break. It was then King Shung suggested we create a blog about rock climbing, where we'd share about our rock climbing experiences, the friends we encounter, the techniques we come across, etc. So after dinner, I packed my laptop, and headed over to King's house where we spent the whole night trying to come up with a suitable name for the blog. Needless to say, we required the whole night considering we came up with names like "reaching climax" and "reaching for the sky". Finally, we settled for "gaining altitude", but unfortunately, the domain name was taken by some idiot who hasn't updated his blog since 2005. Thus, the alternative was chosen - Vertical Rising.
