Rock Climbing Adventure




Today, an unexpected adventure presented itself. My roommate, Stuss, asked if I wanted to go rock climbing in Boulder- more specifically the Third Flatiron. Having absolutely no experience, I agreed. Went through a quick 101 lesson before and off we went. He led and I followed- taking turns belaying and climbing. For seasoned rock climbers its considered a pretty easy climb, but this being my first climb ever- I was terrified. Made it up without any problems after 5 pitches and about 4 hours. Once at the top I learned how to rapell (a 40 foot, two 75 footers off the back). Overall, learning experience. Enjoy the pics.
I start work tomorrow so that should be a whole nother adventure to begin!
