Rock climbing membership

 Miya and I are getting into the rock climbing.

We decided to both get memberships at Northern Rocks, like I wrote about last time, and we both got new climbing shoes.

We've planned out our weekly timetable, and the two of us aim to go there three times a week (midday-ish Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays) for an hour or so each time.

Last Friday, we decided to see if we could complete all 16 of the beginner climbs (7 orange and 9 blue) in one session.  We both did it, and fairly easily, in about half an hour.

I've completed all the purple climbs, while Miya has completed most of them (a few are a challenge for her with her shorter reach).  For now we're tidying up the purples and starting to look at the greens.  We're also doing some training drills to strengthen up our hands.

It's a fun new challenge for both of us, and a really nice Daddy-Miya time together.
