More rock climbing

Last Wednesday we (Ben, Matt, Elliot, Mary, and Me) all went rock climbing. It's fun doing it as a group.

This time I got the cool shoes that lets you climb up a wall like Spiderman. While Matt was going through orientation, Ben and I were practicing belaying. This time was a lot different. I had trouble letting people down from the wall. I kinda just dropped Ben off the wall, but he landed on his feet. But it was a different story when he was belaying me. I was coming down off the wall and he just dropped me on the ground. I fell flat on my butt! Ben was just laughing, Matt was in the middle of orientation with our buddy Daniel (who I went camping with once).

They changed up the walls. It was tougher climbing up. And it sucks that I'm short, Mary had the same problem. I couldn't reach pegs that Matt could reach. He kept telling me to grab a hold of a rock right above me....2 feet above my reach. But I let him have it, well not purposefully. When I was letting him down off the wall. I would let the rope go and then it would cinch abruptly. I feel really bad, he might not be able to have kids for a while.

What would be a better way to end a night of rigorous rock climbing?? A big ol slice of pizza from Momo's. It's great. We work out a crazy ton and then stuff ourselves with pizza and beer. :) And then of course Cranium to top it off. Mary and I won...again. Woot Woot!!
