Rock climbing...

Woke up in the morning feeling lazy. The thought of rock climbing, however, gave me the energy to get away from my cosy little bed. Had bread and a simple sandwich for breakfast, then off my brother and I went to the LRT station. It was a long journey before we arrived at the Kelana Jaya station, where we met with Edmond. While we're waiting for the train, there was an unscheculed delay due to the testing of train, new train I guess. Anyhow, we made it there in the end and took a ride in Edmond's car to 1 Utama. Thanks, dude! Spent a long time searching for Camp5, the rock-climbing centre, with Edmond. Then, we met up with Syazwani and headed for rock climbing! ^^

Let's rock with rock climbing! haha...

We were provided with climbing shoes that made us feel weird when we first put them on. We started with the beginner session, climbed up a small mountain-like figure. Then the heights increased, so did the challenge. Safety straps (if that's what they are called) were put on around our waist and thigh like diapers, haha... Up we climbed... Getting to higher heights. Grabbing the stones, hauling ourselves up, we made our ways to the top. Then, we abseiled our ways back down. On the first attempt, I knocked the wall. haha... but it didn't really hurt. After that, it went pretty smoothly. Everything was nice and cool, only tiring. But it's definitely worth the fun!

Special emphasize: The gradient of the wall is near infinity! haha... it's vertical, people...

A great day! Enjoyed climbing, though I probably looked like a monkey. ^^
