A New Sport






So i thought of something new that i have taken an interest in, Rock Climbing. It is something that challenges and pushes me, and an extra added bonus is that the people i climb with are awesome and we have so much fun!!
So my climbing team consists of Stephanie Malmberg, Janson Smith, and myself.
I have been able to learn so much from both of the above mentioned individuals. They also are good at pushing, even to the point of tears. My nickname is cramping Kristy. Why you ask, because one night while at the university climbing at the wall, i came down from a climb and my fore arms cramped, ouch is all i could say. I couldn't straighten my arms, wrists and hands, so Steph massaged my arms for a minute. Kinda funny.
With this new adventure, has come a few injuries and for those who know me know that this is not uncommon. I have had countless bruises, making wearing skirts to church fun. I have ripped the calluses off my hands, but to report, but nothing to serious.
The pics are of my first outdoor climb. This is in Waterton, and is part of the face of Bears Hump for those of you who have been to Waterton. Injuries sustained there, i ripped my pants, and scraped my arms and legs to the point of bleeding. All in all worth it.
