Different kind of fun

Friend talked me into going to get a little rock climbing in (It's all in your leg's Paul, you'll be great...) ANYway... We started with the auto-belay class, super handy, it means you don't have to have someone at the bottom holding on to you, if you slip, it auto-magically lowers you to the ground. The staff at …
