Hard Rock Nunawading

Me!

You drive me up the wall =P

My climbing buddy LF doing her thing, while the girl in purple yours truly belays her

Belaying is the safety thing

We saw this low wall area and thought it was for kids

But if you actually read it, it says 

"Strictly 15 years and over!"

We didnt know what to do until this Asian chick came over and said the green one is an easy one to start with, she even showed us how. She was awesome!

Me attempting to imitate her

She gets past this but i dont.

I fall

And i laugh it off

LF's boyfriend does much better than the girls, he gets up one stone higher than us

Fit LF in pink, she's definitely better than me at this!

Watched other climbers a bit

Thats the Asian girl who gave us a tutorial, and her boyfriend/husband/friend? 

Watching over her protectively, coaching, guiding her. 

Delicious, i want someone to love me like that!!!!

And i want someone to photograph us like that!

J on the left and me on the right.

That's the Nunawading 'gym' as they call it

The X marks the top i reached =)

Read signs that said the gym in Nunawading had Friday night specials, after 5pm it is only $12 for entry instead of the normal $18. Nunawading is just a stone's throw away from my work place while the city is a good 30km from work and it's also 30km from city to home (think of a triangle). 

It takes me one and a half hours to get to the city from work (think peak hour traffic to the train station and then a train ride in to the city). I really love my climbing buddy LF but rationally it makes little sense for me to travel all the way to the city on a Friday night AND pay normal price entry to the gym in the city right? 

LF works in the city.

So what do u you? Use MeetUp.com

They should pay me for blogging about them all the time!

Had my third climb tonight with a group i met off the net!! 

Papa, dont worry, i came back alive! 

And i was the organiser of this one!

I accidentally became the organiser of my second Meet Up! How? I noted that there lacked Meet Ups in Nunawading, always effing far far away in the city, so i stood up and took the spot. Came naturally, had this instinct to make sure everyone who RSVP yes met up

Stressful! I had to carry my phone around and received a text when i was 15meters up! And i had to go through the briefing three times with each late comer in one night!!!!

But very fulfilling. Happy!

Totally forgot about the shocking week i had at work

Found out from the German girl that these low rocks are called bouldering! =)
