Rock Climbing

One of Hannah's friends whom she's gone to school with since Kindergarten, had a birthday party this evening. It was at an indoor rock climbing facility just up the street from home. I'm not sure how many kids she invited, but sadly, Hannah was the ONLY kid to show up. I felt bad for the little girl, but Hannah admitted it was nice to just have the time to play with her and not have a lot of drama, like there would be if other girls had shown.

The place was pretty cool. The highest rock wall you could climb was about 33 feet. There were all sorts of walls mimicking what could possibly be found out in the 'real world' of rock climbing. It was amazing. The girls were given rock climbing shoes and harnesses and each given a guy who held the ropes tight from the bottom as they climbed. The wall Hannah climbed and made it to the very top was 30 feet!!! She attempted another wall that had some edges jetting out and had to be climbed over, but she just couldn't make it over the hump. But at least she tried. This was when she'd made it half way and couldn't make it any further and was left hanging, literally. She loved it!!!Hannah had a great time! She attempted a rock wall a couple years ago when we were in Mammoth and didn't even make it a 1/3 of the way up. So today was a great accomplishment and she had a blast!
