Rock Climbing "Take Two"


We just couldn't wait to get back up the wall. Since hubby had the whole day off on Saturday, we went again. I overcame my fears once he was strapped in as my anchor and made it to the top of the wall and back down easily. I made at least four climbs.

One of my challenges the first trip to AZ on the Rocks was to move my hands to the next grip on one of the bouldering paths. I nailed it on my second attempt! After a few big climbs, we gave hubby a break and did more of the free climbs. I had him video my next attempt and I actually made it to the goal marker for one of the paths... it was just a few steps up, but I had to move all hands and feet at least once to get there. Unfortunately, I'm not nearly as good at falling as my nephew. I landed on my left leg pretty hard and have been limping for the past day. I'm hoping it's just a strain... maybe hyperextended my knee. Bummer part is that I leave for a Jazzercise weekend in Palm Springs on Friday. I'll go anyway, but hope to be feeling much better by then. My nephew keeps asking if it was worth it... it definitely was!
