More adventures in rock climbing. You know, we should take pictures next time we go.

So Audrey and I took our belay test at Earth Treks in Rockville and I’m happy to report we both passed. Now we can go climbing together whenever we want. All that’s left is buying our own gear and our path to the dark side is complete!

We got the gym a little early because we planned to leave a little early to pack for our trip up to Boston for the weekend. But we ended up staying until the gym closed. Just had too much fun hitting the walls! Audrey is already hitting some of the more advanced competition climbs. She’s like a ninja spider monkey! I’m still struggling with some of the intermediate climbs. Didn’t fall this week, but I completely failed one climb. And I kinda cheated on another one. Oh, and my fear of heights is still quite strong. I made it up to the top of one of the 45ft walls and stupidly looked down. I got a little dizzy and my throat clenched up.

Can’t thank Nelly and Jim from Morlock, Garth, and Brian enough for introducing us to the gym. Going to try to remember to bring along a camera next week so we can share the insanity.
