leahbobetTonight was my second shot at a climbing gym -- the first one being in Madison with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stillsostrange, truepenny, and matociquala on the Thursday of the con. Tonight was at the Rock Oasis, home of a severely condescending desk guy and a whole lot of 40 ft. walls. Some of them are 60 ft. walls too, but we didn't even touch those.
After convincing the condescending desk guy that yes, I did know my head from my posterior (and havingdelta_november be my Responsible Harness Adult), mostly traded belays with jo_etal, who is also fairly new at this. Sent two 5.4s and got most of the way up a 5.3 that went, well, forty feet and spectated at the better climbers of the group a bunch between them. And then we had some dinner.
Dunno if this shall be a regular thing, but there was some talk of it, as it was a very nice time.
In conclusion: My fingers hurt. Sending walls is fun. And I am heavily considering upping my gym attendance to reduce the amount of self I will be hauling up walls. Self, you're heavy.
