I went rock climbing yesterday with Hannah, Leif, and 'Renee'. It was fun stuff! I called 'Renee' once I got home from school and we worked things out so he would meet us there at 6:00. Hannah and I got there at 5:30 and took a lesson. The guy didn't really teach us how to climb, just how to tie the knots and belay. I guess it was still important. 'Renee' got there a half hour into the lesson, and sat and watched. Later, Leif showed up, after he got off of work, about 6:15 or so.
After the lesson we started climbing! Woo-yeah. ^^ 'Renee' and I were a team, while Leif and Hannah went off and did their thing. 'Renee' is a good climber. Me on the other hand, I was ...okay. I only really fell once.
I felt bad, 'Renee' offered me his chalk bag, but I said I was okay without it... even when he insisted that I should have it just in case. Well, that time going up the wall, I needed it. My hands got all slippery and I didn't have a good enough grip to reach for the next 'rock thing'.. Just a little embarrassing. I was stuck on the wall and when I called down to him that I was ready to come down, he told me that I could do it, and to reach for the next 'rock thing'.. Feh (that's for you, Bronwen.)... I ended up trying to figure out how I got up the thing last time I climbed it.. but had no such luck finding an answer and just went down.
It was good. I had fun. There was one wall that 'Renee' said he always falls on, but this time he didn't! I was happy for him ^^
All in all, it went well. I don't think he showed any signs that he likes me the way I like him, but - eh, I can always hope; he's pretty shy anyway. I did pat him on the back once, though. Haha, yeah, while saying something stupid like "Thanks for teaching me!"... even though he didn't teach me all that much. Ack. I wish I was smooooooth. Later, I'll see if he wants to go again. Wish me luck!
Today my arms aren't all that sore, YAY! Okay, I'm done.
