Today we went climbing again. I notice I enjoy it a lot more when I go more often. When we only go every couple weeks, I get discouraged because so much strength seems to be lost in such a short amount of time. However, it feels good to know that it is still in me and once I start going regularly again, it will get better. Michele is going on vacation though so I'll be back to square one in a couple weeks :(
Some guy told me I was belaying incorrectly. I told him that there may just be a different style because Mick said the same thing when he first saw it, but it was the way I was taught and it works. He insisted that there was only one way to belay, so I just politely said thanks for recommendation and turned away.
Skylar is doing great with his lead climbing. I still make him do the easy stuff until he is more comfortable with clipping, but he doesn't ever back clip and isn't afraid to take a fall... I am for him though. I haven't taught him lead belay because I am worried about the weight difference. If I weight him to the floor with sandbags, we won't be able to move around as a good lead belay needs to.
I talked with this woman who is setting up the trip to Frankenjura and she gave me a few more details. I still don't know cost, but camping usually isn't that much. Nora even offered to let us borrow either her father's or Bjorn's tent and luckily we brought our sleeping bags. Should be really cool.
