Climbing (again)

[rachelmanija]

I passed the belay test (which was given by someone who was more friendly than the last person), and climbed several 5.7 routes (with coaching.) Yay! I think my favorite thing about climbing is when you seem to be in an absolutely impossible position, with no way to proceed further, you can straighten your knees or stand on your tip-toes or lean out and reach without holding on to anything, and then you've got the next hold and all of a sudden you're three feet higher than you were a moment before.

Then Jody convinced me to train with her in my garage. (I am testing for black belt and she's testing for second kyu next Saturday.) If I keep this up, if I ever win an Oscar, I will be able to do a couple one-handed push-ups before accepting it.
