The venue: Brooklyn Boulders. Wednesday night.
Workmates said it was going to be super hipster- it was. But heck, I live in SF's Mission. I can ride bike and cook organic vegan with the best of them!
My friend Brian came to the rock gym with me. What I didn't know was that he has a pretty bad fear of heights, and wanted to climb to conquer it.
We bouldered a little bit (their grading felt easier than the ones at Mission Cliffs), and 'auto belay' - which is a retractable chord hanging from the roof. I was not allowed to teach B to TR properly since I'm not a 'certified instructor'.
After some trepidation, B was able to climb almost the whole length of the wall
Meanwhile I allegedly climbed some 10c's that cannot possibly be...
Rounded out the night by singing R Kelly acapella with a Krav Maga instructor!
I'm grateful B trusted me enough to be hooked onto a chord to climb up the air, and caught up for sushi and sake afterwards :)
