RoCk cLiMbInG!!

Today was the first day in a while that I tried rock climbing again and boy did I have a good time.  My hands are pretty sore and I am tired, but I like the feeling of accomplishment.  I went with Victoria to Ape Index in West Phoenix.  The website to the place is here.  

We were there for two hours and had an amazing workout.  I will have to work on getting a little stronger, but I was able to do an 5.7 all the way up on my last run! (basically most of the time I was trying to just get to the top and not try to only stick to one climbing path, but near the end that was the goal).  I almost gave up, but while trying to use more of my lower body for better technique, I was able to barely make it with a lot of effort.  Next time with Victoria the goal is to master a few more 5.7 climbs and try a 5.8 :-)
