So today I finally tried out indoor rock climbing!!! Been wanting to this out since I was very young.
Still remembering the time when there was a mini wall in the center of One U Concourse for kids, but I was wearing long skirt, so I didn't try out. :(
And after more than 10 years, I finally did my 1st indoor rock climbing! Somemore w my Nek!
She was complaining and grumbling about her body ache from pole dancing yesterday, I just stared at her with the you-are-the-one-who-ask-me-to-climb-today look.
So we went to Camp5 for the climb. Convenient as it's in One U only. First 2 hours were boring, like all sports, you just need to know the basics and of course safety measures. Then it came to the practical part, where I just realised I almost freak out when I'm halfway the wall. And because I'm too scared to lift my legs higher than my waist. Probably because I can't trust my belayer which is Nek HAHAHAHA!! Kidding, we're so new, I don't think we trust ourselves too. xD
We took turns being the climber and belayer (the one who pull and push the rope for you to climb up and down), we were also introduced to the Autowall (don't know what's the name), which is very interesting as you don't need a belayer, just that when you come down, you just fly down.
The scariest part was the climbing down part because you need to let go of your hands from the wall and hold the ropy only. For the Autowall you can't even hold onto the rope!
And the last wall was the Boulder Cave, very short wall, you don't even need a rope. But just in case you fall, there are cushions down there to support you.
Would love to go back there always! And yes, I got my Basic Wall Course certificate which allows me to climb walls everywhere in the world!!
