rock climbin 30.3.2008

after much hesitations and procrastinations, i finally did it...*yes!*

i know that too many people is not a great accomplishment but to me, is one of those things in "my to do list @ checklist" among other things.

was at a conversation with a family friend, Mike and i asked hime whether he was still into climbing. he says "yea". He invited me to his regular sunday rock climbing.checked on my schedule ..oh yea sunday is available. the few days before sunday came, i was very eager looking forward to the weekend climbing..just like a lil kid who is eager awaiting for the new bicycle.

sunday came..made arrangements to meet Mike at summit. i also invited Merv along. Reckon it will be fun doing it together..All in all the whole day rock climbing cost us each Rm 38 which includes the beginner class, the gears, the shoes and entry fee.

we were assigned to an instructor, Din. Din was really friendly, going through with us the basic knowledge of climbing, the roles and responsibilities, the basic equipments, tying the knots, and belaying process. one similiarity with diving is that you never ever climb alone.you climb with a buddy.one climber and one belayer.to me its so awesome. the experience was so great..and nothing beats the experience of doing it as a couple.i kinda like the idea of doing something together with my partner..instead of just hanging out, going to the movies and dinners.."i did rock climbing with my boyfriend,Merv ;)"

we spent close to 3 hours at the rock climbing area..going through some of the climbing routes, trying on our own.merv seems to be doing pretty well in rock climbin especially with his footholds.i need to work on my belaying.

well worth spent RM 38 for the experience. i would probably go for another few more climbing trips.seems fun and i like the idea how you challenge yourself and push yourself to climb and stretch and reach to the top. it feels as though i have conquer the world..at the top of the world.so euphoric!
