Reach for the Top

Went to the gym today with the intention of passing our belay check in order to use the rock wall at the Banff Centre. Unfortunately they use a very different climbing system than the one we used in Lake Louise last summer so we instead signed up for a 2 hour instructional course on the 4th of March which will better suit us and give us more practice in a group before we start climbing on our own. My buddy Dave is really interested in getting into technical climbing this summer and I want to make sure I'm as prepared as possible for that opportunity.

Here's Nicole rocking (pun intended) the climbing shoes that always feel 15 sizes too small, but apparently that makes them more effective. My feet hurt just thinking about it.
