Rock Climbing!

I got the chance to go rock climbing for $6 (regular price over $20) because it was an IH event! They had the price subsidized as a social event, so not only was the price low, but I got to do it with a bunch of awesome people too! Here are some pics!

Check in here. They have energy bars, soft drinks, etc.... The kids section is on this right. The yellow board in the middle of this picture is the trial board where an instructor teaches a group how to climb, harness yourself, etc.... After that lesson, you can go on with your partner to anywhere else in the gym.


Kid's zone.


I went to the grown up ones with my camera inside my shirt just to get this picture! That's my foot on the right! :D No matter how high you'll comment this to be, I will still say it's higher than it looks. The blue is the harness strapped onto your butt. It wraps around your thighs and waist, and you attach it to the pulley.


Here you can see that I've reached the very top! (Again, high, I promise.)  The scary part now is yelling at your partner that you want to come down. They scoot you down slowly if they're nice.


Everyone had a partner. While one climbs up (girl in this pic), the other (guy) stays on the ground, attached to the rope which is attached to the ground. 


Here I am climbing the top of a 3-sided wall! This one was my favorite climb.





YAAAAAY the group!
