I'm going to show off a little bit today! We went to a climbing wall place at a local university for my son's very belated birthday party at the weekend, and after some time watching all the 8 and 9 year olds scrambling up the wall (I guess it was about 30 feet high), the instructor asked me if I wanted to have a go.
EEEEK????????? What to do???? If I didn't try it, I might regret it. If I did, I might make a show of myself. What if I got stuck? What if I fell? What if the boys laughed at me? Can people with no upper body strength whatsoever actually do this sport? Would the harness look good on me?!!!!!
Well - here's how I got on:
Made it to the top - twice - with no bother at all. I was worried 'cos some of the boys took quite some time to get up there, and I didn't think I would have the stamina - but I forgot that because I'm taller, I have more reach, so I didn't get stuck at all and got up there very quickly both times. Abseiled back down again too!
And here's my baby - like a little Spiderman, he was!!
Please don't ask me how my back and arm muscles were feeling that evening and all day Sunday, though!!!

Hooray for you (and your baby too!) I've always wanted to try this too, but I haven't had the opportunity. I would be shy about giving it a go :)
Blogger won't let me comment on your adorable BG card (green card, previous post), but it is absolutely adorable!!!
Ha ha ha I did laugh at your post Julie. Well done you for giving it a go, I used to love those climbing walls before I had my shoulder injury, it's the bouncing back down I loved
