Last Saturday my friend AM and I went bouldering at an Indoor Climbing Gym called the Mountain Goat (its got a really cool mission - you should check it out here, after you finish reading this post of course!). Bouldering is a form of rock climbing that is done when you don't use ropes or harnesses.
I haven't been climbing in forever so I was super excited to go! A and I had been trying to go for a while now so I was pumped we were finally able to make it happen.
Luckily, A has a roommate who is a frequent climber so she had climbing shoes and chalk that we were able to borrow. After a few practice climbs, we pretty much stuck to one wall with multiple routes on it. I was finally able to conquer the route I had been working on, but of course A had gone to the bathroom and didn't see it! There was one witness to my feat, but he wasn't nearly as excited as I was about it.
After about an hour and a half of climbing, A and I decided to call it a day. We may have left with tingly fingers and bruises on our legs (ok, just me), but we definitely had fun! Can't wait to go back again!
