Brendan and I went to check out Philadelphia Rock Gym in Oaks, since it's closer to his house, and it can be fun to check out other climbing gyms. However, fun is NOT 200 Girl Scouts who are hogging all of the top rope routes. Fun is NOT spending the first hour floundering on the bouldering routes that went like twenty feet high. (Okay, so maybe it wasn't twenty feet, but we all know Heather is much happier when clipped into a rope.)
By the end of two hours, skin was falling off all of my fingers and palms (and this is *not* an exaggeration. I'm molting or something.), and I was struggling to get up a 5.5.
It's so sad how quickly you can "lose it."
Stay in school, kids.
Or keep up with the rock climbing. Something along those lines.
Hahaha! awwww, poor Heather!!!
ReplyDeleteLiz and I were going to climb on Monday since we don't have school but she told me that she messed up her finger really badly in volleyball today so I don't know when the last climb of the season will actually be... just fyi
If you're depending on me, then it'll be a while. I broke my finger apparently so I can't do anything for like 6 weeks or something...
