Up, up and away!
Went rock climbing (or perhaps wall climbing would be a better term) on Sat after 1.5 class today at a place somewhere near Union with Terence, Ryan and TH.
It was really great! Haha. Free climbing (picking any and all stones to go up) was really easy. Almost effortless. But then, after we more or less got the feel for climbing, we graduated to doing only colored stones. Damn hard can?!!! Some stones are so high up, u need to sorta jump up and grab the rock. Scary!!!
Terence was our instructor for the day. This is him teaching TH how to tie the knot...the knot that my life depends upon. Haaha.
Here's Terence, squatting on 1 rock, preparing to jump up for the elusive rock above.
This is me in action (obviously). Hehe...hanging on for dear life also must pose! Haha.
This is TH. His legs are sooooo long!!!! Hahaha.
Poor TH, he was the one to belay me most of the time...I did offer to belay him but my offer was rejected outright. Seems I don't have quite enough mass to make him feel safe. Hah! The benefits of being petite!
This is TH at the end of the whole shebang. He is, as the phrase goes, "shacked until cannot think". It's some army saying or something like that.
Here's Ryan doing his thing. hehe.
Overall, it was great. For S$10, inclusive of equipment, for the entire day...it's really a steal!
Can't wait to do it again!
