My Accomplishments In My First 5 Weeks Of Climbing.

My first trip climbing- June 6/2010, we climbed at Wasootch and since it was a busy day on the rock we had to go to F SLAB. Pure slab climbing. I didn't make it very high just to the first ledge on a 5.7 and a 5.8. I had never climbed before in my life other than trees. That day was the day I FELL IN LOVE with the mountains!!

My second trip climbing- June 18–20/2010. Again we climbed at Wasootch, after two weeks of climbing indoors, I red point a route and on-sight 2 other routes. I’m already lead climbing. Repelled for the first time too.

My third climbing trip- June 25–27/2010, me, Jake and Hanna went to jasper climbing. We were only able to climb on June 26/2010. My first lead climb fall.

My fourth climbing trip- July 1–4/2010. I’m now iffy to lead climb a bit. The fall affected me quite a bit. Didn't accomplish too much this weekend other than I had climbed in another climbing gym. Climbed at stronghold and took a look at the Crux. Learned to slab climb.

My fifth climbing trip- July 9–10/2010, went climbing at Stronghold. I finally have enough gear for minimum requirements and I have enough gear to make my own anchor. Only was able to climb out doors on July 10/2010. I now know how to setup repel and top belay and thanks to Jake I have done my first multi-pitch and I have gotten a lot of rappelling in too.

Well that’s my accomplishments in my first 5 weeks of climbing!!!! THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO WAS ABLE TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE: Mikey, Hannah, Michael, Jake, Ken!! THESE LAST FIVE WEEKS HAVE BEEN THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE!!
