I had been wanting to take the kids to this indoor climbing facility for weeks - eversince I found out there was such a place that is relatively close to where we live. My kids were very excited to try something new.

We finally got to go yesterday afternoon.

When we got there, the front desk lady, who also happened to be one of the instructors, informed us about their kids summer classes. We told her we just wanted to try it for the day to see if it is even something that the kids would want to do again.

After we paid, the instructor had them put the safety harness and explained the basic rules and safety instructions. And they were ready to climb!

My 10-year old son Alex went first. He made it about 1/3 of the way up before he asked to be lowered. He got scared of the height after he saw how high he was (pictured below). 😖

Next, it was Ysa's turn - my 13-year old daughter. She made it all the way up and back down the first wall without a problem. Those gymnastics classes she took when she was 9 or 10 sure came in handy!

After watching his sister, Alex gained enough courage to try again. Anddd he made it all the way up this time! Whoohooo!👏💪👐

I didn't pay much attention to the time, but we must've spend about an hour or so at the place.

They both were able to try other walls that were designed to be more challenging.

In the end, Ysa came home with a blistered finger and Alex said he couldn't feel his legs. But both said they had fun!

Overall, I'd say it was a fun afternoon. We will definitely try it again some time in the future. I might even want to try it myself too. It looked fun and I can use a workout.
