Thanks to Chris Ghent for joining me rock climbing on Wednesday!

It was a beautiful day, particularly because neither of us fell and died

Just kidding. Rock climbing is quite a safe sport, and an easy one for beginners to enjoy because, unlike golf or surfing, you can start at full speed right away.

This is me behind the wall on the scaffolding with the sun in my eyes. I climb up the back before we start climbing to set up the top rope.

This is a picture of the closest entrance to the climbing wall. It is near Sukhumvit soi 42 across from a mall with a theater and a bowling alley. From this gate, you go straight about 50 meters and take the first right.

This is Chris "testing" the wall as I put the top rope down.

Chris almost made it to the top -- once. He tries to figure out how to do it again.

Here is Chris, almost at the top.

Here is the view from the bottom of the wall.

This is me vainly posing at the bottom of the wall. Actually, you never climb without the harness and rope.

I hope some more people join next time, now that you know its safe!
