WOOHOO!!!! went rock climbing today at NUS. The place was just this small little cosy room at the SRC... It started off with alot of theory.. To-ta-lly information overload man!!! haha.. but it was extremely fun.. we tried climbing without the harness and all, just using our bare arms and legs.. then after we were taught how to use the belay things and how to tie knots (figure 8, double figure 8 etc..) then we started climbing with the harness.. hehe..the straight walls were so much easier to climb coz we didn't need to use alot of arm strength to maintain our position.. but all in all it was very fun la!!

I have to tell you about a stupid thing i did man!!.. ok.. i was going to climb with the harness right so i had to make a figure-8 knot with the rope first before connecting to my harness, and after i connect it to my harness i'm suppose to continue my figure-8 to make it a double figure-8 la.. so right after i did the 1st figure-8, i totally FORGOT to attach it to my harness lar!! aiyo.. so paiseh.. then the assisstant said," remember? loop it?". then i was like ," oh ya!", but i continued trying to do my double figure-8 without attaching it to my harness!! until elaine told me to attach it to my harness la!! i was super paiseh man.. (-_-)..

The only bad thing abt the rock climbing thing was the super-duper, cramped-up, abrasive shoes we had to wear!!! Climbing shoes are meant to be small ma.. so our toes are all curled-up and my heels were damn pain!!! the heel part was really very rough man.. even standing on them not moving was pain.. but we endured it just to do our climbing which made up for it lar.. so we had a lot of fun!!
