certified belayer

June 26

We did wall climbing as part of our requirements in English. Lol. You read it right, wall climbing in English subject. We had to do something that we haven't done ever and we should make a presentation about what we have learned during that particular activity. At first we planned on climbing at Powerup in Silver City, Pasig but the people there looks professional and intimidating so we went to Powerup in Old Balara, T.Sora instead. The gym there was not so classy unlike in Pasig but it gave us a friendly ambience most especially coz many UP students were having their PE there. We learned a lot from the experience like belaying and climbing. Alex and I climbed four times. Lol. Our last climb was at the kiddie wall but we tried to step on the stones with yellow slashes only. We found it hard to do so but we tried our best to reach the top. Not only the whole body is working at that time, but the brain as well because the coding on the stones stimulates thinking ability. It was so fun and challenging since there are 10 walls with various difficulties! Our group planned on climbing as often as possible. Since it was our first time, we weren't able to stretch our muscles well so we felt pain on our legs and arms. Anyhow, its still worth it! I'm excited to do it again and increase my level. LOL


Ugh! I couldn't post my belayer card photo! loser!
