Steven and I signed up for the lead belay class at the climbing gym. It took about 2 months to get into the class, apparently they are very understaffed. For those of you who are not climbers I found this cute picture on the internet.
Lead climbing is more likely what we would be doing most with most outdoor climbing. Planet Granite has two different certifications. One for lead climbing and belaying, and the other for just the belaying. I opted out of the climbing part for now. Unlike that lovely picture above where you would fall and land on that spike of rock sticking up, most lead climbing is done on walls with overhang. I don't like those walls because they make my arms hurt too much.
On Monday we both got our official cards.
Not lead climbing, but Steven was accidently posing for this picture. :)
My poor shoes are dying...
Excellent!
