My first tryst with Rock Climbing

From past some days I was carving for something Adventurous and Thrilling, then one of my friend suggsted to go for Rock Climbing(on the wall). I was all excited on this coz I hadn't done it before and said Yes!!!

We reached there, saw the 'Climbing Wall'(on which we had to climb, had a thrill in the body!!!). have a look at the picture

Seems pretty easy? but its not, trust me(atleast for me I can say that :)

When I had a first glance at the Wall, I thought its easy, nothing to worry about but when I put my first step in the hole and tried to move higher I came down :((I din't fell coz safety rope was there)

My all excitement, adventure spirit came to a halt(not end coz it was the first try :) ). I wondered is it really that difficult? My other friends were able to climb easily without any assistance.

I tried it for many times but same outcome :( . My hands are not strong enogh to hold the holes and stay I guess. But don't worry guys I dint loose my confidence, "I'll do it somehow atleast on the last day of the camp :)".

I think I need to start exercising to get my hands strong("Need to get Strength man really"), Hands play a very important role in RC coz you need to have a good grip on the holes and then climb further. Its quite a fun for a person who can climb the wall.

My trainer tried all the tricks but I could not get through it :(. Finally she said this is the first time I am seeing a well built person like you, is not able to do this. Then she got the problem that hands are not taking my weight(let me clarify here that I am not that heavy but hands are bit weak to take the body weight).

I am good at one thing atleast, I am a great source of entertainment for others including trainers, at the Camp :). Generally I joke a lot and play some pranks so I am of some use for them, thats what I feel coz laughing is also very good exercise :).

But I am determined to come over the weaknesses and one day has to go for Real Rocks for sure!!!

Will let you guys know in my future posts whether I climbed it on the last day or not but pray for me :)

Love,
Mayank
