I had a great time again at the climbing class. Today we learned how to undertow, which is holding the bottom of a cliff with palms turned up. We also learned how to climb up when two cliffs that are perpendicular to each other have a narrow vertical gap running vertically up the cliff. It's pretty difficult and is probably comparable to climbing up a palm without using any rope, the difference being that much more stress is put on the wrists when doing it up a cliff.

You, with practice? I know it looks a little scary, but I think climbing outdoors, when you can feel the sun against your skin, will be even better.
For me, stemming was the best part. It’s amazing how when you learn to move correctly, it’s more exciting and much less—although still fairly—difficult. I came across this glossary of rock climbing terms that might be useful: http://mccammon.ucsd.edu/~adcock/climbing_glossary.html

Thanks Elizabeth. I'll try to memorize the terms before our class tomorrow :-). Actually, I couldn't get the Web site to work...
