Climbing today
Aug. 2nd, 2007 06:37 pmgabriel_le and I went climbing on the escarpment today. I led three routes (the same as last time) and climbed a 4th on top rope. The 4th was a nice route actually, though not climbed much recently I would guess from the amount of dirt and cobwebs on the route. (The book names it Arachnophobia, which didn't suprise me given the cob webs.)
It was a bloody hot day to be out climbing -- and we being the bright people we were climbed through the afternoon, getting to the cliffs just before 1pm.
gabriel_le did make it all the way up the first route, about 25m (80') up. I'm very proud of her for that, given her fear of heights. That's a longish way up.
Now, I'm tired. I think a quiet evening is a good plan.
