Some friends of mine finally convinced me that I should try rock climbing this past summer, and man is it fun! Not only am I learning a great new sport, but I'm outside enjoying the beautiful Swiss countryside. Last week we climbed at Pierre du Moëllé, about 1500 meter, in amazingly sunny weather. It was there that I also did my first lead-climb. How exciting! I can't wait to go again... just hoping that the weather stays mild this fall so that I don't have to wait until next spring to start again.
