Sounds like I got sick, didn’t it?
Well breath easy readers, it’s actually the name for a hidden away area where crazy people go to climb up the side of exposed rock faces, clinging to two-finger holes and wearing hawk feet shoes.
Now, I have rock climbed inside before, I liked it! Especially when I could swing off the top and peg the landing! But outdoor rock climbing is like someone took the training wheels off.
A cute pair from our Small Groups (that Bible study Mr. Fox and I are a part of) are the super outdoorsy type (compared to Mr. Fox and I) and have been rock climbing for years and years! (We’ll call them Mr. and Mrs. Australia) I have never climbed outside before and let me tell you, I have a new-found respect for those dudes that do. It takes muscle and dedication and a raw will to cling to some of those rock faces!
I didn’t do too well, I got a few feet up and every muscle in my body said NOPE NOPE NOPE! Mr. Fox climbed a up couple of times, while Mr. Australia not only climbed every single opportunity, but he set up the ropes for everyone else. So he climbed without a rope three times! Maybe he should be called Mr. Muscles. Mrs. Australia did ten times better than I could ever hope or dream! I hope I can be as fit and active as her soon. She’s pretty cool. You guys should be jealous I know her.
We had fun! We are sore! My very fingertips are sore! Mr. Fox could barely get out of bed this morning. But you know, it was worth it. My favorite part of the whole day was that we’re finally finding friends!
