Between a Rock...and the Air on our Backs

We tackled DYNO-ROCK last night. And at times, DYNO-ROCK tackled us! For Valentine's Day I had given Daniel an "I owe you" to go rock climbing (it didn't seem like the appropriate thing to do FOR Valentine's Day itself, so I thought an "I owe you" would be just fine). We're trying to re-establish a weekly date night and I suggested going to DYNO-ROCK last night.

Both of us have climbed before, but we are no experts by ANY means! We caught on quickly and have plans to go again - but not before our bodies heal from this past time - who knew that grabbing on to those pegs in the walls would call for such strong fingers and that the tips of our fingers would sting afterwards from the constant contact?!! And those shoes you have to wear!! Neither of us could feel the tips of our toes toward the end of our climbing. The shoes hug your feet so incredibly tightly - maybe we needed bigger sizes.

For us beginners, there's probably lots to still learn! But we made it to the top, almost every climb! VICTORIOUS!!!
