46. Try Bouldering - Indoor Rock Climbing Without a Harness
I headed to Caribiner's, an indoor rock climbing facility in Fairfield, this past week to try bouldering. Well, I didn't last very long on the bouldering part, but I attempted it a few times and took pictures of my friends' attempts. The facility was an interesting place. We stayed mostly on the lower levels - V0 and V1 - because those were tough enough for us as inexperienced rock wall-ers. Anything that involved a jump from one part to another was risky because you don't wear a harness, so if you fall, you fall to the ground.
Pieces of tape designated each path on the wall. We purchased one chalk bag and had our first experience wearing rock climbing shoes.
Since the facility was practically empty when we went, the instructors helped us figure out how to maneuver different paths.
My friends are considering returning again because it wasn't a very expensive adventure. I would come again but mostly to witness their progress - it is fun to watch but I would rather just watch.
