Biceps and Shoulders... I Mean Boulders

When your friends call you on a random Thursday and ask if you want to go rock climbing, you of course say yes because you could definitely get out of the house. When you then are told what to bring for the casual rock climbing evening, you realize pretty quickly that your friends don't mean rock climbing at a gym. No, they mean driving an hour into the wilderness, hiking to the base of a giant mountain, and then strapping yourself up and hoping for the best.

That is what our Thursday was like! The Kilpatricks invited us to go rock climbing and man, did we rock it. I have honestly never climbed a rock with harnesses and it was so thrilling! I'll admit, I was (a lot) shaky at first, and there was one point on the climb up where I wanted to give up, but just the feeling of getting to the top and knowing that your body got you there was awesome. 

The climb was thrilling and I probably spent an eternity thinking about where to put my hands or feet (sometimes even my badonkadonk, cause that baby can support an entire family - heyo!) to only move them ever so slightly before deliberating again. 

I took the climb twice and each time there was such immense joy in making it to the top of the 60 foot vertical climb. We will definitely be rock climbing again in the future! This gym time is paying off, let me tell you. 

Hope you have a fun Thursday adventure yourself!
