1 Every year I do something I'm a little nervous about for my birthday. This year it had to be climbing!
2 Why not? $30 for an hour with a trained belayer. That's a bargain!
3 That's Sam climbing - he decided to be my climbing partner for my birthday even though he really doesn't like it a whole lot. I was really proud of his willingness to try something out of his comfort zone.
4 It wasn't actually as scary as I thought it would be! I zipped right up and it was a lot of fun! I was breathing hard and nervous, but it wasn't physically hard. Really cool!
5 First climb ever!
6 I finish the climb and belay down! Uncle Tom - what do you think!?
