Yesterday after selling bread to people that like bread at the farmers market I headed over to Eastern to climb with Sean, Jill and Gordon. So it had been probably 12 years since I last went to a climbing wall so I wasn't as good as I was when I was a teenager. Mostly though that was because my arm strength has diminished so greatly I just couldn't do much. Despite that I had lots of fun and I will be going back. Maybe lift some weights in the meantime so I can have even MORE fun next time :) Not surprisingly Sean took to climbing like a fish to water, must be all those years climbing trees. Here are some pictures you may enjoy!
Me bouldering (meaning climbing without a rope)
Me climbing again, I did climb with ropes for a bit, but my arms gave up.

Sean Attempting a really difficult climb.
Gordon tries to show him up.
And gets a little farther than Sean, notice where his left leg is!
