These last couple days I've moved my most recently learned activity of climbing to the big boy rocks. My friend Josh showed my girlfriend Kimmy Fasani and I the ropes (literally) by teaching us to belay, and by making (well, more like encouraging) me lead a climb for myself on my first day. Basically I jumped in headfirst, as "they" say, but no need to worry, we are being more than safe and loving every minute of it. We've climbed the last 4 days in a row, with plans to do the same tomorrow. Here are a few pics from my personal camera. I'm sorry Pete wasn't there to provide more professional imagery. I hope these photos will suffice...
