Went rock climbing after work yesterday. We were planning to go to the gym but the weather was sooo nice and then Ben suggested going to this crag that's a ~40 min drive away and no walk in and I was like omg yes. A friend was also down so we all finished work as early as possible and met up to drive there! We did not account for traffic in our plan 🤣 and got lost at the very end because of road works so it took over 1.5 hours in the end. But it was fine, hadn't seen the friend in a while so we had a nice catch up, and we stopped to get snacks and just had a lot of fun. The actual climbing wasn't that good, we've been there before and the quality of the rock is dubious haha. I tried one lead but bailed pretty quickly because I was sooo scared :( so I stuck to toprope. It sucks but I still hope I'll get back to leading eventually... anyway. It was a great evening with friends, and I did have fun on some of the climbs. And it feels kind of mad that I get to go rock climbing on a work day!
