#38 Indoor Rock Climbing - Completed 28 December
Well well well … how interesting was this task … I am beginning to think I have an issue with heights! While I found this sort of hard - because I was trying to lift with my arms instead of pushing with my legs - I did find the height a bit strange. You really need to have trust in the person holding the rope at the end so that if you fall they will stop you from hitting the ground.
I was lucky enough to have my good friend Christina (up from Melbourne on holiday) to join me on this task - although I should now call her “spider” she flew up that wall like you wouldn’t believe. Chris use to do this as sport many years ago when she lived in Sydney - so it was certainly helpful that I had someone who knew what they were doing.
After a couple of goes I started to get use to the idea of pushing with my feet but my arms got tired very quickly (mental note - long nails are not a good idea!)
20 down, 20 to go.
