And now for something completely different

I went rock climbing outdoors for the first time ever today! On proper rocks! LOML is a keen climber and often goes off into the mountains to do battle with Nature, but up till now I have been an enthusiastic advocate of gym climbing and a bit apprehensive about venturing outside onto (rough, pointy) rock. Today, however, LOML taught me to lead belay, and off we went. I feel a great sense of achievement. Outdoor climbing is much more empowering - I now feel like I could successfully survive being marooned on a desert island, or running from a hungry mountain lion, or something like that.




I hope you all had a great weekend!
