Mt. Vernon - Washington Did It Right

Rob, Jamie, and I went to Mt. Vernon over the weekend. Washington had a pretty nice place to hang out.

Notes on Rock Climbing

John finally got me to the rock climbing gym, with equipment! And I'm in love. Notes:

~It's pretty awesome!
~John said if I did a 5.6 clean by the end of the night he'd be proud. I did.
~I also did not panic when rappelling, as he expected. Because it's actually quite fun.
~Seeing as I didn't fall once (hey, I was proud), he's going to make me to 7s and 8s next time so that I learn to fall. Oh joy!
~5.10: still a ways off, but I tried it, for a good laugh.
~I am not allowed to belay yet. I'm uncoordinated and cannot be trusted. I request a month alone with the rope to work on my skills.
~Nothing hurts, exactly, but everything I pick up seems very heavy. Cause my arms kind of turned to jelly.
~Climbing shoes make me feel like a ballerina. Until my toes start to hurt.
