Today I belayed a woman who was trying to top rope for the first time. She suffered a traumatic injury several years ago and has some weakness on her left side. She hopes that climbing will help strengthen her. I've volunteered to belay her.
It was very, very cool. She climbed the slab beginners wall 3 times and was very excited. I enjoyed it, too. So we're going to see if she can climb twice a week with me belaying.
After that I climbed for myself with Kim and I did the 5.9 route that I've been red spotting twice! I still can't put it all together into one smooth climb, but I get closer each time. YAY!
