climb on

 for St.Patrick's Day, my fellow adventure-seeking friend, morgan, and i headed to www.climbnashville.com-- the actual place, not the website. 

 we had not been in a good while, so it took us a minute to get into our gear correctly. if you are not totally confident in your ability, they provide a "refresher course" in belaying (which is how to maneuver the rope in such a way so that your partner doesn't go tumbling to the ground). i think we scared the friendly worker because he stayed around a little longer than usual to watch us practice...we got it eventually..

i'm gonna miss my little friend morgan when she moves to seattle to work on a farm for the summer. we had a good time climbing--it is a great workout--and it is super fun! if you ever want to go with me, i'll be happy to show you the ropes (my mom would be proud of that pun).
