kbkOw! I just got up to go to the bathroom and I nearly fell over because my legs had frozen up, because I came back from climbing and sat cross-legged in front of the computer for six hours, more or less. Ow.
Climbing was fun! There were three other learners and two of them knew each other so I paired up with the other guy and we took turns climbing and belaying (which is when you are the person at the bottom holding the rope so if the climber falls they don't fall all the way, and he fell once which was exciting, and also once they reach the top you lower them down) and I was probably the crappiest climber of the four but not by much. And I fell a few times and one time I nearly landed on a kid, which was funny. It was cool, though, because it wasn't just a taster session, it was learning how to sort out your harness and tie yourself on and everything.
It's a renovated church, which is cool, because it's this big space with climbing walls all round, and the wooden ribs - do I mean ribs? the bits that go across the ceiling for support, and stick down a bit, and they're shapedy - and there's a wee cafe bit up some spiral stairs, and another little climbing room, and stuff.
And we're all going back next Monday for Part Two. And then we get a week's free membership, so I'll probably go a few times, depending how dead I feel tomorrow and the day after.

Date: 2008-06-24 01:54 pm (UTC)I think second day is worst, yeah, but I don't do this sort of thing often enough to really remember from one time to the next. Maybe I will this time, though. Ho-hum.
