Venturing Upwards

I’ve wanted to try indoor rock climbing for ages, but my late running coach, Max, would never allow it.  He was worried I’d get injured.  I finally did it on Saturday (with Marty and the kids).   I always thought it required upper body strength, but learnt that you use your legs to push you up, not your arms.  It wasn’t too daunting, being secure in a harness, but  I found it better not to look down.  I made it to the top of three different (easy-medium) walls.  I have no desire to do it again soon though- it’s not my thing.   As for getting injured on the ‘rocks’- I just can’t see that happening.
