Bouldering

My friend, Kevin, was in town from AZ over the weekend, and he took my bouldering in Morrison. I have never officially gone bouldering before, I have been more into rock climbing, with ropes and harnesses and stuff. This was all new to me. Hanging on the side of a rock, ten feet off the ground with nothing but hard rocks to catch you if you fall. It was scary! There were some spots that I was super afraid of doing, but Kevin was a good coach and taught me how to do certain hand holds and swing like a monkey. It made me realize how weak my arms have gotten! Focusing so much on biking I have neglected my upper body, and I sure could tell when I was hanging on the rocks! It definately made me want to get into it more, both for the upper body workout, and because it was so much fun! I think I will be investing in a crash pad soon…
