Congrats on finishing the class! Unfortunately my ankle problems came back -- my ankle was KILLING me after the first Thursday so I decided to call it quits. They told me I can retake the class next spring for free so that's my plan. Obviously I was very bummed out that my ankle keeps getting in the way of having fun, but that's just the way it is. My friend Thad finished the class and had a great time -- ironic that I was the one who talked him into taking the class! |

Sorry you didn't make it through Ray. Do take the chance to take the class in the spring. It is well worth it! Who knows maybe you and Todd can take it together! _________________ ~~~Diane~~~

Well, I finished my anchors class yesterday by setting up a Bomber anchor and allowing others to climb on it while I climbed on others anchors.... Yeah, I didn't get to climb on my own anchor cause it was on a 5/11 climb which was well beyond my capabilities but for some reason they had me do that one cause it had a bit of exposure on the set up and "they knew I could handle it". I am not sure where they got the impression I enjoy the exposure but they seem to think so. I did it and it was indeed a bomber anchor but I was nervous sitting up there on the Point of that rock setting it up!
I climbed 7-8 routes rangeing from5/6 to 5/8 and played on a different 5/11 and made it to the crux move but couldn't cut the mustard.
I had such a good time! I am so glad I got to take these classes! Now I wanna go climb!!!! _________________ ~~~Diane~~~
