Yesterday I thought I'd type like this today: C - Outch! L - Outch! I - Outch! M - Outch! B - Outch! But it isn't that bad. My arms feel a little bit tired but the fingers are fine. I had such a good time in my first climbing session. After the first couple of minutes I thought: Well maybe it wouldn't have been useless if I went to the gym and did some workout before starting this. On the other hand climbing trees as a child and climbing on boulders in the mountains was a good preparation in terms of flexibility.
Oh, and then there was the thing at the end of the three hours when we were secured and climbed to the top of the wall at the top of the hall. Quite high. Did I mention that I actually have a bit fear of heights? The climbing itself was no problem at all but then, in order to shout "Down!" so they lower me down I had to look down first and that was, ehm, oh-oh. because then I had to let loose of the wall and sit back in the rope in order to be lowered which was not a pleasant feeling at all. In fact I felt so uncomfortable that I managed to turn in the rope which was not exactly helpful. But the second time it was better..
In conclusion: fantastic! I enjoyed it sooo much and am looking forward to next week.
