Well tonight I went on my first trip with the Mountaineering Club. We went to an indoor climbing wall somewhere an hour out of Middlesbrough (I forget where) and it was really good. I wasn’t expecting to find it quite such hard work but man it was. My fingers and knees ache now from it all — every time I did a climb it took at least 10 minutes to recover! That’s just down to my lack of fitness though. I used to climb a lot with my dad when I was younger, I don’t know why or when I stopped but I wish I hadn’t, because tonight was great and I’ll definitely be going back next week.
