Brantley and I decided to do something a little non-traditional for our Valentine's Day date. Saturday morning we went about our normal routine-breakfast, gym, etc. Then we had a lunch at a small cafe near uptown and headed to Inner Peaks after that. We signed our lives away on the waiver, watched a brief informational video, and then we were off. Initially, I was worried about getting to the top, but I quickly learned that I had spider monkey capabilities. :) We took turns climbing and belaying (the person on the bottom who will save your life if you fall) until we had completed all but two of the walls. The two we didn't complete were busy so we'll save those for next time, and yes, we both agreed that there will be a next time.
Surprisingly, I made it to the top on all but one wall. The start of that particular wall was very difficult for me so I didn't make it too far. Brantley made it about halfway up that one before he had to stop. I didn't feel too bad after that. I did, however, make it to the top on another one, and he didn't. Yay for me!
We need a photographer to go with us next time. It was hard to snap a picture and belay for the climber at the same time.
