Elise's First Climb

This past weekend, we headed to the local climbing gym, Climbat, in Amman for Peter's birthday. While the boys and I had climbed before, this was Elise and Clementine's first climbs ever!



Peter had made huge strides since the last time he climbed. Which hadn't been since we left D.C. He made it to the top on all but one of this three times up the wall!

She made it!!



Her hard work in the gym paid off and she had no problems making it up the wall on all but one of her climbs, too. On the last climb, she hit a tricky spot and had to come down. I went up behind her and can attest that it was a real tough patch of wall. Otherwise, she was a champ and can't wait for her next climb. Next up: we're going to sign up for the belay class, so we can belay each other. I told Elise that I believe her life insurance becomes null and void if I let her fall off the wall! :)
