This is my favorite pic because it looks like I am doing something. The others I am standing straight. (And note to self: Don't wear black socks.) More photos at end. |
- I climbed four walls, one more than normal.
- It felt like I was actually getting my legs in position, or at least helping. J still had to put my feet on the holds, but I think I was getting them in that general direction.
- I even used both my legs once.
- I also pulled myself up a little using just my arms, a climbing technique known as campusing. (More lingo. Seriously, how bad am I?)
- I use a glasses strap, but I knocked my glasses off on one of my climbs, and they fell around my neck. But I finished the climb!
It was also the first time that I sweat so much I could feel it. But I didn't think that deserved a bullet point.
I brought my new manual wheelchair, which came apart and went back together fine. I did learn that it is really hard to push without being buckled in. (I tend to slide out.)
Someone said to my friend, he's been here a lot and he's getting better. Several people told me good job as we were leaving, too. I think I must be getting better, but mostly it is because in the morning I wasn't too sore.

I kept thinking, man he looks like he's having a great time! Then I got to the photo where it looks like you're being goosed, and I thought, ah ha. :)
Kidding! I kid. Well done, young Skywalker.
awesome. you should put messages on the back pockets of your jeans to amuse those of us admiring your pictures :-)
Thanks, MGH and mtc. I really like the messages on my jeans idea. And for the record, I did not notice any goosing when I was climbing. i saw the picture and used it because it made me laugh.
Did you use your awesome new Christmas climbing chalk??
i left the jeans message
