Climbing again
After living in London for almost 5 years I’ve finally managed to go to the climbing wall and do some top roping rather than just bouldering. The last time I climbed properly was with Lee back in Bath around 2003 time, before I went back to do my Diploma.
I’ve remembered how to belay and some of the climbing techniques but my upper body strength is pathetic. My harness is also a lot tighter round my waist than I remember. I struggled on some 4b routes which is shameful. Anyway, I’m going to make it a regular thing each Weds now and hopefully improve.
The Castle really is an impressive place though it’s a converted Victorian Pumping Station which has plenty of space within. It’s pretty busy during the week but Aaron and Alex showed me the top room which seems to be a lot less busy. The changing rooms there really do stink though, like a hideous cheese smell.
