Climbing! Yay. I love climbing.

I did a lot of unofficial climbing as a kid but haven't gotten into this kind of climbing - I have trust issues! It was fun supporting maharetr though.

I will mention in passing that (at least over here) climbing walls tend to also have bouldering areas. Bouldering is where you don't have a harness & a rope; instead you just don't go up as high (maximum of maybe 4 metres?) & have padding underneath. So if you fall the worst you'll do is strain something.

I do a lot of bouldering not because of trust issues but because I'm quite often up at the climbing centre on my own without anyone to hang onto a rope for me :)

I am going to totally check out our local climbing place to see if they offer that - it sounds perfect!
