The Climber

Somehow, for some reason, Abigail got it in her mind we could do a top-rope setup with her climbing wall.

She was right.

I had the necessary equipment and got it working.

It’s sweet. She’s doing laps up, then dropping down via the rope. She’s learning the belay commands, the necessity of proper knots (not the knots themselves yet) and adjusting to her harness.

If when/how this will translate to the gym, I have no idea, but this is cool enough for now.

See more shots in the Gallery here.

ps. no joke. it was totally her idea. It never actually occurred to me to do this until she suggested it.
