Clambering Wall

Tonight we made it to the climbing wall. I have only been 3 times now so it is more clambering when I do it. Learnt some new words - "smearing", which is when you use the friction of your foot to climb rather than a hold, and "thrutching", which is a method of climbing a chimney. I am sure Mike is making this up as he goes along.

Got some new climbing shoes today so don't have to wear the sweaty loan ones and they really helped with the smearing. Here are My shoes

This is Alan on the wall. This is me doing some thrutching
