A New Adventure

Last Saturday I  got a chance to go rock climbing with some friends. There are some good climbing rocks near Burney Falls in the mountains. It was my first time EVER climbing any kind of rock! I was SUPER excited and to be honest, I thought it was going to be fun and easy.

As I got strapped in and stood at the base of the rock, I  literally had no clue what to do. I started to try to climb, but it felt so weird and unnatural, as if I were going to fall off. I literally couldn't do it. I went to go watch some other peeps to see how they did it, once I saw how it could be done I took off! Like Spiderlady! We climbed both sides of the rock, each about mid-level climbs, and about 50ft. high.  It was the best feeling in the world to climb the face of a rock, and not fall! I hit the top on both sides, then was reeled back down. I can see why people love rock climbing, there are SO many spiritual parallels you can draw from it. There were so many instances where I could've let fear overtake me, my legs even began shaking uncontrollably, however, with the encouragement of the people belaying I was able to find the strength to push through, grab on to the tiniest piece of rock and pull higher and higher! Once you hit the top its a beautiful view over the tops of trees!

My friend Wendee took me and sent some pics, heres what it looked like! SUPER FUN I CANNOT WAIT TO GO AGAIN!
