Rock Climbing

 My friend Necia saw a flyer for a rock climbing class and thought it sounded fun and invited me to come along. I am always up for trying something new!

This was the rock we climbed. Necia is in the pink. Our instructor is in the hat. She is an instructor at the National Outdoor Leadership School and was very passionate about rock climbing!



We spent 10 minutes tying and untying this knot. Mine looks beautiful if I do say so myself :)

This was our group. There were five of us plus the instructor and her assistant.

Here is me learning how to belay.



This was my first climb, which was also my favorite. The shoes were the worst part. They reminded me of Chinese binding shoes. The instructor told us we would get used to them. It was a lie. My toes hurt so bad!

This was my second climb. This one was super hard. There was nowhere to put your hands and feet. My face pretty much sums up how I felt about this one, which is "are you serious?!?"

Rock climbing was a different and fun experience but Necia and I decided it probably wasn't our thing. On to the next adventure!
