The Mousy Nerd

Two Saturdays ago, LA (aka Pampers) and I had our very first climbing session. We were supposed to be with two other work friends but both were no-can-dos at that time. They had promised that they’d come along for the second session, which was last Saturday. And boy did they keep it!

Non-stop chatting with Sam on the way to the gym.

At the registration desk with the uber-excited Riva.

Us three acting silly before the main activity.

Ditching our girly shoes for some old climbing footwear.

Helping one another wear our climbing gears. Our guardian, Toto, making sure we’re doing it right.

The one thing I had forgotten to do during the first session. Good thing, a warm-up buddy was present.

Two seasoned climbers making sure the newbie is properly oriented.

And we’re readehhhh!

Climb on, Sam!

LA the Climber and Riva the Belayer both looking like a pro.

That was a good run, wasn’t it?

And she really has to pose, huh.

Lookit how absorbed I am in this serious business. 

All for the race to the top.

Then again, watch out for falling asses!

Ikaw na, Riva! We officially hate her!

Chika-break!

Finally giving these kids their turn. These young’uns even thought I work at the gym as a belayer. Whatever, Biebers. I shall take that as a compliment.

Lookin’ drained? Nah, just recharging.

We’re set for the third session. We’re climbing on. We’re unstoppable. We’re friends.
