On Saturday three families from our small group decided to go to the YMCA together. We skated, climbed the rock wall and swam. It was a great time.
When it was time for the rock wall most of us signed the waivers to climb. Once harnessed we tackled the wall, one by one. Climb one for me was on course one, no problem. The kids climbed, DS scrambled up like Spiderman a couple of times. I decided I would brave the second course, it couldn't be that much harder than the first, right? Wrong. I struggled my way up. The incline was steeper, the grips smaller. Finding a good grip was a challenge. I eeked my way up with an occasional boost from the belayer. It was tough stuff. Finally I reached the top and rang the bell.
Here is the retraction. The day before hubby did not just barely beat me, he schooled me. He was on course two which I found to be incredibly difficult but he sailed up it with no problems. So I just wanted to set the record straight, hubby is a much better climber than I gave him credit for.
Way to go, babe!
