Wednesday 27 August 2008 : Reaching new Heights

Took Bexy and Liam to try out climbing properly today. Both did really great

Earlier indications on her free climbing were realised fully after Bex was roped up.

Looks like after 10 years I'll be going climbing again regularly, or at least belaying a fair bit ;-)

First climb proved too easy for her, so she was popped promptly on the more advanced climb on just her second go, supporting her own weight hanging swapping feet mid climb with ease.
She's 4!! The gobstruck instructor suggested I get her some proper kit and sign her up immediately.

Blip meet still on for 6:30 pm tomorrow outside the Royal Festival Hall, see you there!

Way to go!!!! Yes, all sorted for tomorrow! Sadly pixel can't make it as he is going to "stay home with the children".

YAY for Bexy. James doesn't like the height so much, hence why he boulders and does the traversing instead.

I need to get back to the wall - not been since I broke my finger. Think I should stop procrastinating!

~ hebsjournal

excellent perspective, so high, I couldn't do it

~ Jaxter46

Climb every mountain Bexy!! Nearly had a go at this myself at the weekend. Unfortunately, I was wearing the wrong footwear.

ETA Waterloo at 16.27 hrs. So Dancing Queen and I shall see you shortly after!
