This morning I was able to go rock climbing up Rock Canyon. I've only been climbing 3 times in my entire life and they were all indoors at climbing gyms. But this time I went outside in a real mountain! It was awesome and I was with some really experienced climbers so I felt totally safe. It was a blast and the guys I went with are way cool. It's always fun to meet new people and to find things that you can all do together. They are so athletic and always looking for an adventure and I'm officially adopted into their "family" so it looks like it's gonna be a fun year and hopefully I'll be able to get out of Heritage a little bit more!
There are so many gospel analogies you can make with climbing and it was fun to brainstorm. The thing I like about it the most is that you don't have to be extremely in shape or strong. You just have to be smart and put your trust in the person who is belaying. It's a lot of problem solving and thinking things through. Each time I felt like I was on the wall forever but they said that I made it up in pretty good time. It allows you to kind of take a step back and just forget the world. Plus the view at the top is amazing!
Hopefully I'll be able to go up a couple more times before it gets cold down here! It was a great morning :)
