He goes to extreme measures to find these adventures every week, and in tonight’s Keeping Up With Chris, he’s going indoors to climb the walls.

Chris Van Vliet: “In case people didn’t know, there’s no elevation in Florida, so in order to climb, you do have to come to a place like this.”

Xtreme Rock Climbing Center is Miami’s Largest indoor rock climbing facility. There’s more than 14,000 square feet of things to climb.

Chris Van Vliet: “So if you’re coming in here with no experience at all, what do you need?”

Angelica Guevara of Extreme Rock Climbing Center: “You just need to have courage. Be brave, try hard.”

The most important thing here is safety — for both the climber and the spotter, better known as the belayer, and while safety is important, apparently so are puns.

Angelica Guevara: “So climbing partnerships are really important, they should be lasting. We want to foster good ‘belationships.'”

Oh and they didn’t stop there!

Angelica Guevara: “We’re starting off on a good foot. Get it?”

While the jokes are good — Chris came here to scale a 40 foot wall!

He was able to get one wall down. But that was probably the easiest one in there. Next, he tried his hand at belaying.

Chris Van Vliet: “This is way harder than the actual climbing … Her life is in my hands. Literally.”

Everything was going pretty well — except … there was some falling.

Chris Van Vliet: “Ohhh! We weren’t even half way there!”

But there was some redemption.

It may not be pretty, but Chris did it!

Chris Van Vliet: “Woo! Oh man! Woo, good job that was tough. Why am I so exhausted?”
