My first day rock climbing!

On Sunday, I went climbing for the first time with Stephan, Kristen & Arnie. We went to an old rock quarry on the outskirts of Aigle, in St. Triphon. It was so much fun! We did a bunch of different climbs around the quarry, I think about five. Surprising to me, the quarry was full of people. We had a beautiful day, you'll see in the pictures, which made it a lot more rewarding to check out the view once you got to the top. Unfortunately, I didn't have any pockets in my pants, so I couldn't take any pictures from the top of the wall. Next time! Of course now, my butt, arms and torso are sore, but it's not as bad as the day after Parc Aventure, and thankfully I'm not covered in bruises. I did slip and fall a bit once, but it wasn't that bad, especially since I was wearing pants.
