i've been trying a lot of new things lately. running, sky diving, rock climbing,going to rodeos traveling to new places... the other day i even did a front handspring (kind of). the point is its been really fun and it makes life a lot more interesting. i just wish i would have been more open minded to trying so many new things earlier in life because i'm loving it. good thing i'm young :)

today was my first attempt at rock climbing and after i got over my inhibitions it was A LOT of fun. we started at "first practice rock" and the climb we were doing was rated a 5.7 so nothing too hard but it had a higher vertical ascent and i would get about halfway up and get really discouraged so we went closer to the mouth of logan canyon and did a couple shorter climbs. one was rated at 5.9 and the other a 5.8 and i can proudly say that i made it to the top of both... in pretty good time i might add. i felt like spidey man ;) (or a little mtn. goat haha) especially when i pulled some pretty awesome rock climbing moves!

i've only been once but I WILL go rock climbing again. however, i would like to invest in my own stuff if i keep it up and rock climbing is not a cheap sport so feel free to contribute to the brittanylikestohavefun fund at zions bank :)

thank you to Erika and her husband Marshall for inviting me, teaching me, letting me borrow their stuff and most of all being patient with me.

and now the best part of looking at other peoples blogs.... pictures
