Birthday #2 at the Climbing Gym

Nana, Mom, HAWK, Auntie Chris, Corinne, Grampie, Uncle John & Aunt Laurel scaled the walls at the climbing gym this afternoon. (After watching the 11 minute home-made safety video)


Each of us were attached to an "auto-belay" by our harness. The harness was tight across the middle and formed a serious wedge situation.


The colored tags indicate pathways you can follow to the top. Some were easier than others. Hunter found them all easy.


Hunter started climbing this wall well after John and I, yet he swamped us. He just flew up the wall.


This was a highlight for Hunter and Uncle John.

Then Uncle John raged up to the top of the wall! (I got this picture from the top of the wall...meaning I am right beside him at the top.)

You can see the crew at the bottom...it felt like a long way down.

Corinne says, "I am holding on for dear life...take the freaking picture."



Grampie and Nana got into the action scaling the wall with ease.


Here's the most impressive picture of the day. Auntie Chris made it to the top of the wall. Craig caught this shot of her coming back down the wall. As he said, "rappelling at high speeds."

Happy Birthday my Boy!
