Climbing with Alexander
06.06.2007 25 °C
Today we went to climb with Alexander who was my honey's best workmate.
Alexander was a fresher for climbing rocks. It was his fourth time to come here, also was the first time to climb with me ( the previous three times he climbed with my honey, when i was in China).
Today my honey taught him how to climb the rocks with managing the hooks. It was almost the same practice for the real climbing outdoor. This way needed have much more power and energy, as well as needed more skills and balance. Alexander could do it nicely at the begining, but with the roads getting more and more difficult, he could not finish the whole one, just only half. But whatever, he still liked climbing, and my honey also encouraged him to be a good climber.
My honey was teaching Alexander how to tie a knot...
Put the rope on the first hook.
Everything was ok, then began to climb...
Put the rope on the second, third, fourth.....hooks while climbing up.
You could see how tall the climbing wall was.
my honey's turn now...
Look, my honey was so sweaty, haha...
Coming down.
My turn now...
I was using the chalk to make my hands were not so slippery.
When I came down, i was already very sweaty. My arms and fingers were all very tired and painful.
I was protecting Alexander.
Our turn now...
Packing the rope when we finished climbing.
