I chickened out and opted not to climb. But I did learn how to belay. It was a lot more fun that I was expecting. By the end of the evening I was actually wishing I had climbed. Next time I will for sure.
When I wasn't belaying(??) I spent a lot of time looking like this. It was so fun to watch the youth and some of the leaders climb. I could tell it was very challenging and required a lot of upper body strength (of which I have none) but it was also very rewarding. Some of the girls hadn't wanted to try, and to see the look of accomplishment on their faces was awesome.
