It was a good class. I felt more relaxed and I tried a few new things.
In order to wake himself up, Instructor "J" decided to climb without using his legs which was quite impressive. I got exhausted just watching him.
In talking about technique, "J" mentioned speed climber Dan Osman and suggested looking up some videos on YouTube. As soon as I saw the first video of Osman climbing, I knew how his biography would end and, sure enough, I googled his name and everything was in the past tense.
In 1998, Osman died in Yosemite National Park.
I definitely don't planning on doing any outdoor climbing anytime soon.
Here are some ascent pics from my last class and, yes, I made it to the top.
