i hateee lead climbing..

[shortyclimbersmiles]

heeehee, i dont mind it too much at comps but during practice im a scardey cat

[badllama2]

im kinda scared to climb now couse i went to a camp were one of the girls wasent expereanced and she accadently unhooked the anchor from the top she she fell 60 feet. soo now i dont do it that ofton, only like once a week, but i refuse to leadclimb, i just hate that falling feeling :P

[shortyclimbersmiles]

wow, thats scary, was she ok? i think the best thing to do, what i did when i started, is to just go to the top of an easy rout, unhook yourself, get sla, and just fall, it helps you trust your belayer and learn to fall.

[badllama2]

hmm

cool

the girl that fell brused her back really bad and ripped up her lips because of her braces but other than that she was fine

however, the girls she fell on were hurt. one broke her arm and the other screwed up her leg

but there all okay now :]

[shortyclimbersmiles]

ooh, i see why that would be scary for you. bouldering's pretty fun, do u like that?

[badllama2]

ohh deff

its awsome

i went to regionals

and i didnt want to get to the second half couse i had to drive like 6 hours home

so i didnt do as well
