Me all decked out ready to start, trying not to freeze with the cold morning and super high winds. I went with the youth of my church on their activity since I am one of the young women leaders; I totally got to adventure because of my amazing calling. Hehe. I love my calling for so many reasons.
Yeah, that's me up there. I've been wanting to try rock climbing out for a couple years, but was never at a place physically where I could... Until now. I love living in a place where outdoor adventures are possible pretty much whenever I'm up for one. Maybe more are in my future. Good ole Mt. Lemmon and Windy Point were the location for today's play.
Great view from the base of the climb, which is about 60ft. It was a really fun day. I learned I can do hard things physically, but I had to not think to much about not being able to accomplish it which really helped me finish. It took me probably longer than other people, but I still did it. Yay me! And Yay for a great teacher and belayer who guided me and helped me when I felt stuck.
It was also a really interesting learning experiemce to not really "experience" what my ideas of rock climbing were, but to experience the reality of what it was. It was both way easier and way harder than I expected. I was very pleasantly surprised with the whole experience.
This is something I think I would enjoy doing again. I also learned rappelling is really fun and that has to be part of the deal. Haha.
