go rock climbing

I’m going rock climbing with Liz!

I did this yesterday with Brett. To anyone in Toronto I would highly recommend the Toronto Climbing Academy. It’s at Queen and Broadview, and costs $38 for a lesson if you’ve never climbed before, or you just want a quick refresher, after that you can climb as much as you’d like, and equipment rental is included. Staff was really friendly too.

climbed 2 walls at a carnival. it’s on. shopping for gear and tapping out my resources for free/cheaper gear…

There a place here, Vertical Reality, which offers private lessons on wall climbing. I made a phone call and left a message but I haven’t heard back from them so far. (I’ll have to call them again very soon.) I can get quite busy especially with boxing (which I do two nights a week) but I’ll find a way to fit it in. I always do somehow.

i thought i would be able to tick this off. but i wont. i have been rostered on for work every day of the first week of holidays (almost over, eek!) and i am doing work experience 9am-5pm all of the second week. so, unfortunately, itll be a little too full on… unless theres a place i can do it at night? i was hoping to do it outdoors so… i dont think so!
never mind, i have time yet… just not these holidays

i’ve gone hiking at school….but proper trekking and mountaineering is another thing altogether…planning on applying for an elite mountaineering school next year…

i got belay certified, and im going again today. i’m probably just going to belay more than anything, cuz my arms still hurt.

to go climbing on sunday at noon with an instructor! im gonna see about taking my belay certification test too!

DONE!!

I tied my first Daisy Chain yesterday… that’s a step, right?
