On Wednesday we drove an hour and a half south of here to Socorro, NM to learn about knots, climbing safety, and of course, to climb. The whole idea of climbing is to put shoes on that are about 2 sizes too small so your feet curl up like a geisha girl's. Then you wrap heavy duty rope around your waist like a diaper and pull that as tightly as you can. Then you climb. I did a 5-7 wall about 40 feet up or so and managed to scrape myself in several key places -- anything for friction. So then I did another smaller climb which was riddled with cacti as an added desert challenge.
