What A Great Time We Had Rock Climbing!

 After we got all geared up and harnessed we were given instruction on how to belay for our partner.  It's a little to scary to think that I hold someone else's safety in my hands.After a bit of practice, belaying does get easier, but it is definitely not instinctive motions.  The fun part is actually climbing up the wall. As I learned, using your legs is way more important than using your arms. I used my arms to pull up instead of using my legs to push myself up. My forearms ached for days!  "Take!" I yelled to my belayer as a signal I was ready to come down.  As he lowered me slowly to the ground, I realized how far up I had actually climbed! What a sense of accomplishment! The great part about this rock climbing place is the self belay. When you are ready to get down, you let go and it feels as if you are flying! That was a great feeling!Those people that weren't climbing were there to socialize. There was a great spread of food like fruit and veggies, as well as cookies and brownies. After climbing for a bit, it was good to refuel and spend sometime getting to know new members and reconnecting with people  I hadn't seen in a while! The funniest part was when a group of guys decided to make a human pyramid. Such a guy thing to do! Maybe they got the idea from the giant Jenga  that was being played.  Those of us that went to the after event had a great time getting to know each other as well. Overall, it was a really fun night! Events And Adventures Dallas
