Indoor Climbing

Kip's sister Laurie and her husband have recently gotten into indoor climbing. We have seen some of their pictures and have heard them talking about how much fun it is so we were so excited when they invited us to come and join in on the fun. Kip, Brooke, and I went down to Hangar 18 in Riverside and meet up with Laurie, Gregg, Hailee, Rick and a few of Laurie and Gregg's friends. This gym was totally sweet!
This is something that Kip and I have never ever done together and wow, I never knew how good he was at climbing, he made it look SO easy. I was a total wimp because they were boulder climbing which is without a rope. I am afraid of heights and also have a bad knee that I am going to be getting surgery on in a few days so I was just feeling out of my comfort zone BIG TIME! Everybody just blew me away with how good and brave they were with their climbing! I think I was the only wimp there but what can I say, it is something I am wimpy about for now. After my knee surgery and after I take some brave pills, then MAYBE I can hang with these brave Robinson folks :)
Here are some fun shots from the day!

I have a feeling this is something we could get hooked on. I am sure we will be back! Thanks Laurie and Gregg for the invite, it was super duper fun!

we've only been indoor rock climbing/bouldering a couple times but boy is outdoor climbing/bouldering amazing!! luckily we have friends that go on trips all over the place. definitely an amazing experience. one day you should try multiple pitches in rock climbing! :) that 200 foot climb would take your fears right away!! :) so glad you had fun!!
