Hello Everyone,

Last weekend, I think, a group of us got the adventurous bug to go to a climbing gym. I hadn't done it in years, so I didn't know how quickly I would get my climbing legs back. Well, after instructions of how to ties the road into our harness, very important, and how to spot or belay our partner while he is climbing, even more important, we got started. After one climb we all warmed up to it. It was very fun and not to expense, only $15, for as long as we wanted to climb. As a side note that $15 is the same cost for one class of yoga.

The fun thing about rock climbing is that it is all up to you. You can go at your own pace. Each step up the wall is like a little problem to be solved - Where was I going to put my foot? what can I hold on to? Some holds were out of reach of a hand or foot and I had to decide if I was going to go for it or not, and if I did would I have something else to hold on to secure and balance myself, so I didn't fall. Very stimulating for both body and mind.

Well, we took some picture, so click on the link below and enjoy. Hope to see you at a future get-together.
