Sharing the obsession...

[deathpixie]

So, last night I took philf and indiana_j indoor climbing at the gym down on Front Street. Phil's an old hand, being my climbing buddy in Melbourne, but it was IJ's first time. *grins* It's always a thrill to watch someone try something for the first time, have trepidations, but overcome them and really enjoy themselves. 

Yes, I think we have a new convert to the Way of the Rock. :) Now to find myself a climbing buddy here and get back into it myself. Or hell, just go bouldering, as much as I get bored doing that - it'd still be a good work out for the climbing muscles.

And in other obsession sharing news... two potential new XP people. *hees*

Which two are we discussing? Mmm?

(eeee)

Chandri and Doqz. Chandri's in the middle of slogging her way through the previous logs, and Doqz is working on his app as we speak. :)

eee! One of us! Resistance is futile! Etcetc!

(ohgoddidyousaydoqz?)

*grins* Indeed.

(and yes, I did. He misses the old Subreality cameraderie days and wants in. App could be tricky, but we're working on it.)

*grins* AusCon needs a trip to a climbing gym. I haven't gone since the last time you, Amanda, Phil, Alan and I went and I seriously miss it. Or heck, during next DexCon even.

*nods* If you can squeeze extra time around the Con, even, since I wouldn't like a huge group - if you haven't climbed before, it gets problematic with the gym and their training course. But I'd love to take you to this place we found. :) 60 foot walls and some really nice climbs.

I would like to try rock climbing, although I could be terrible at it since I have a minor terror of heights. But I abseiled once and that was good (going downwards, anyway). Would you mind taking me climbing sometime?

[deathpixie]

Certainly. I'm apparently good at being reassuring, too - you wouldn't be the first person afraid of heights I've taken. As long as I know before hand, I'm fine.

When you come back, then? *grins*

[cynjen]

Aww, thank you :)
