" Be where you can meet the right kind of friends. And go on dates. Hanging out is not the way, nor is it enough! Courting seems to be a lost art. Rediscover it. It really works!"
i love this counsel. and i totally agree with it. :) here are pictures from my date with lowell:
first we went to sconecutter. i got a turkey avocado sandwich (on a wheat scone) and it was really ono. it was the first time i'd heard of it...has anybody else been there/heard of it before?
as we were walking out i saw this sign on the door! and i was so excited about it that i had to take a picture. meags, this one's for you. :)
then we went to the quarry...its intense.
this is right after my very first climb--yes, i made it to the top...BUT, it was the beginners route. :)
can you see that little boy? he looked about 3 or 4 years old...and he was climbing the really hard routes. i was so impressed! he was mesmerizing to watch.
this one's at the bouldering section. for all you non-rock-climbers, bouldering is just when you arent attached to a rope...i think. its free climbing and its lower. since lowell didnt wanna let go of the belay rope on the high walls while he was spotting me we came up here to get the picture.
during one of his climbs lowell took a picture of me being a belay-er (...is that even what it's called? i dunno). this is me, with his life in my hands. :)
now let me tell you something about lowell: he's a wrestler. he's been one for as long as he can remember. his dad and all his brothers have wrestled/are wrestlers. and he also placed 3rd in states. all of that equals: he's really strong. and good at rock climbing. he made everything look easy. just like this:
i wish i had the strength to climb like him! but dont you worry...im workin' on it. :) before we left we took one last picture.
so this is my evaluation of rock climbing: it's hard, but i like it. its a good work out. and i love the feeling of making it to the top...even if i have to rest on the way up. :)
my final words...i enjoyed this date. :) and im glad i went.

Looks like you had a ton of fun!
I've seen sconecutters and I've always wanted to go!
I've always wanted to go rock climbing too.
from what i understand bouldering is scaling boulders. not mountain faces. i believe theres another name for it when youre free climbing without safety gear. you can also do regular rock climbing that way not jsut boulders. 2nd thing is that a lot of rock climbing should be in your legs, not your arms. it definately helps to have upper body and you can do neat things but the basics are in your legs. thats what propels you and holds you up. or at least should be. kindda like baskeball: your supposed to shoot with your legs and let your arms/hands guide but lots of ppl shoot with their arms. your supposed to climb with legs but lots of ppl do it with their arms. thats tight tho
