Instead of tennis tonight, we went rock climbing instead at The Pitch in Wetherill Park. $20 gives you unlimited play time, including a harness, shoes & chalk. We're gonna buy our own gear (should cost most then $200,) and get a ten pass which works out to $11 per visit.

Rock climbing is an all over body work out, (see my deltoids!!??) i'm definately going to be sore tomorrow, as while driving home my arms were already feeling like metal & i was exhausted.

It was Pete's first time, & he did pretty well. Realization for him tonight was - to work out more and lose weight so its easier to climb up.

The wall that i'm climbing here, requires you to climb almost horizontally and then up around the curve - this requires upper body strength, and i think i made it all the way up (i did too many hard ones, only one or two i had made it up all the way)

More piccies here

We are definately making this a regular thing, alternating with tennis, woohoo!
