I didn't regret going to th Basic Wall Course with cw this morning. Woke up, took a quick shower and a breakfast of nasi lemak, and off I go to Camp5!

Went late cause cw was late, haha well at least we didn't really miss anything I think? When we were there they were just starting to explain about the belays and the currybeans.. wait, carabiners.. and how to tie the double-8 knot, wearing the harness, and pulling up the rope and letting go of the rope so that the climber can go up and down safely.

5 checks:

A - anchor
B - buckles
C - (c)nots and carabiners
D - devices
E - everything else

and also the buddying commands:

1. belay on
   
2. climbing
   
3. climb on
   
4. tight(climber)
   
5. tight(belay)
   
6. lower me
   
7. lowering

Started with the manual belays, with cw being the first climber and me belay-ing. =P Wow all that gym and running and god-knows-what-else did her a world of good. She climbs like a monkey! (good thing btw =P) and she managed to climb using single-coloured holds only! Dang. I tried the orange one, and my legs just don't reach that high man, so I ended up using some other colours in between, but minimal lah. Loved climbing using the manual belays!

Next up was the auto belays, but didn't play with those.. I figure I can go try them out next time.

The next one and the last one was the wall climbing without any harness/rope stuff. Haiya I know I don't have any strength upper OR lower so.. totally fail la this one. I could climb like one or two steps up but.. just hanging on sucks up what little strength I have. Sad case.

I so want to go back and climb.
