Went to sports climbing. Told mum I went to climb walls.
Well..I was as usual scared.
New to the climb and afraid of the heights.
Registered with Joyce.
Lucky she asked me else I would just delete the broadcast of the courses sent to us and rest and relax at home.
ONSIGHT Climbing Gym

The walls....Different type of walls..wondering which wall we would be climbing.
Well, Sports Climbing Proficiency Course level 1.
Course programme:
Introduction to basic equipment and usage
- Knots in Climbing
(The instructor taught us how to tied the knots which was safe for us, its "figure 8" knot. It was for climbing. )
- Belaying
- Basic climbing techniques
( This, the instructor never taught us..I just climb....)
- Different climbing hold and wall configuration
(This, instructor also never taught us)
Basically most important from the course was the belaying technique and the knots in climbing, ensure safety of the climbers.
Start of the course...
After briefing, time to try out.

Tried twice and I could not climb up, difficult climb....
Need planning also I think? Wearing track shoe and my shoe was big and easily slip off..hmm
Last try, I found the easiest and Joyce shouted to me which point to take and finally I managed to reach the top.
It was really tiring.
Heard from friend that climbing cost around $16 whole day?
Well, we had got ourselves certified for the climb on own.
We also had free one climb but we had to use it within 3 months.
Fun to learn new things!
