the diary of a [newbie] rock climber

i've recently discovered the intoxication that is rock climbing. what follows is a collection of random thoughts, experiences and images related to my newbie rock climbing adventures. note: climbing is a dangerous activity. these are only my opinions and shouldn't be substituted for good sense and education. climb safely and at your own risk.

nope. didn't pass the lead test today.

my gym has one route that is used for lead testing. an overhung 5.9. pretty tough stuff. i tried onsighting it (onsighting a climb means climbing it the first time without falling and without help in any form from someone else.) ha. i got 3/4 of the way up and then fell. i barely had time to yell "take" before falling 5 feet or so. darn. felt good to try however.

overall, great day at the gym. overhung routes are so tough for me. grrr.
