I said I would do it, and I did it.  Sace is back on the rocks baby!Last Saturday, I went and took a rock-climbing class and it was a blast.  I’m glad I went.  The class was more about process, rather than a rock-climbing lesson, but it was a good intro and got me excited about going in.  As part of the class, I got a two week - one day pass with free equipment rental.  The only thing that I didn’t like at the gym was the shoes, but that’s more so because I think I have special feet.I had so much fun that I went back on Monday, with a co-worker.  Jason, my next door neighbor at work climbed a lot better than I did.  Bouldering was the name of the game on Monday.  I learned a lot, but I hurt a lot more.  I am still sore from then, but was planning to go today - didn’t happen.  The day after I took the class, I went to REI (they had a 20% off sale for members), and bought a pair of ‘La Sportiva Nago’ climbing shoes.  Size is something I am still not sure of yet.  I got size 10 shoes, but I wear 9 1/2’s.  As of now, I can tie a double 8 knot, and a fishermans knot.  I can use an ATF (Air Traffic Control unit), I can belay pretty well, and I can climb a 5.1 to 5.3 wall.  I know the command: “On Belay”… “Belay On”… “Clinbing”… “Climb On”…. “Falling!”….”Fall Away”.I am going back to the gym tomorrow.
