Lately my life has become wrapped up in my sons new passion for indoor climbing. It started in December 2021 when my sister took him to CityRock indoor climbing Center for his 16th birthday. Now he鈥檚 addicted to climbing and has climbed every week since we got back from our trip in mid-January.
Luckily for me the Center has an awesome coffee shop, free Wi-Fi and reasonably comfortable chairs. So I spend quite a lot of time sitting there, crocheting or blogging (or taking videos) while he climbs.
He has progressed very quickly and is figuring out a lot of the vey advanced routes. I鈥檓 figuring out how long I can drag out my cup of coffee to make it last 馃榿
I guess I鈥檒l have to climb soon too! Time to add a new sport / skill to my repertoire. I already love hiking, so climbing is a natural progression. I鈥檓 just not in love with those rubber climbing shoes. They have to fit really tight and crunch your toes and my fingernails take a hammering.
I might stick to crocheting until my son needs a new belay support and then I鈥檒l have to wait for a break to have my coffee. Maybe then I鈥檒l savour it all the more.
Til next time.
