Klettern - at last!

This is the wall on the right where I was climbing to warm up. Ranging from 4c to 5c

I had a fantastic nights climbing! Two of the four dropped out late but I climbed with Markus a local Swiss. He's been climbing for about a year so it was good as he knew the walls well.

There are lots of different grades and overhangs like you wouldn't believe. I did a 5c lead climb without the top rope!

The quick draws are all about 1m apart and the one I was on to start with had about 8 quick draws to clip into and then the final one which was a bit of a doozy and needed 2 hands to get it to work!

We climbed for 2 1/2 hours so it was a really good workout.


They also have an auto belayer. It's on a pulley at the top of one section of the walls and you can move it along to about 8 different climbs. So it's brilliant I can go along everyday if I want and climb by myself after school.

It's very good but at the top you have to literally have a leap of faith because you drop about 3 feet until it steps into action! 3 feet might not sound much but it is up there!


Had a really great time with Markus and the lead climbing was very useful, especially as I have the course with Christoph Schaub lined up in a fortnights time.



Something to aim for......
