| - I'm writing this 9 hours after leaving and boooooooy oh booooooooy are my arms sore! And my fingertips. And my chest. And my legs.
I had the Deal Chicken coupon and took a girl from work. I had no idea what to wear. I had no idea how to wear my hair, expecting a helmet. So, I didn't do much to it after rolling out of bed.
I wish I had, because the place was full of cute guys!
They're really into making sure you have the safest time while you're there. You sign a wavier, with an emergency contact. (YIKES!!!! Haha!) You watch a video about safety and how-to. Then, you're guided by an instructor and have to do a few climbs with them present. Mine was a hottie named Robert. Ohhhhhh Robert. Super-friendly, cracking more jokes than I was, which rarely happens. He showed us the ropes (get it? Ropes? You're harnessed into ROPES! I kill me!) and then showed us around to walls better for beginners.
The place is pretty big. They mark different climbing trails with a difficulty level, and keep them color-coded. We tried three different walls. We had to move from one area because these two cute guys kept talking to us and I didn't want my ass sticking out from the wall, in their faces, while trying to concentrate on not slipping and dying in front of them.
It was fun, we stayed a little over 2 hours. I'm pretty sore, but I was wise and made an appointment for a massage for tomorrow.
Oh, and I'll know better next time and make sure my hair is done perfectly. They told me most of the single guys are there on Tuesday and Thursday nights. If you see me there then, hide. You're not my competition and I'll cut your safety rope.
