The Roxx Rocks

Yesterday I finally managed to go climbing after months of softball practice blocking my efforts. Amy and I went to The Roxx at 239 Waltham Road. It is a pretty kick ass indoor climbing centre... much better than the wall at Burnside High School.

After filling out a registration form and hiring some gear I had a quick belaying refresher from a guy who works there and then we were left to our own devices. Amy is pretty good (it's not fair that she has such long arms and legs!) so she did some hard climbs while I mostly stuck to the ones with nice big holds and lots of them. For those in the know, I can do a level 15 but it starts getting real hard after that. Thanks to the overhangs and my poor technique I am expecting some sore muscles for the next couple of days.

It cost $27 because it was my first time (registration fee) and I had to hire all the gear but I think it was worth it. Have a go :)
