Today Josh, Rosie and I went up into Christchurch to Clip n Climb again. Josh, Rosie and Chris had already been, but Josh wanted to take me in to have a go and it was really nice to have the 3 cox kids doing something together just us.
The building sort of looks like a warehouse from the outside, but the inside is really cool. One side is all rock face with holds all over and lots of proper harnesses for the hardcore rock climbers and members etc, and the other side is the main tourist attraction with numerous walls with different holds and challenges. The one from the picture is velcro hand holds and blue footholds!!
The whole experience is quite tiring but very exciting all the same. Each person is kitted with a single harness and you just go up to whichever wall you want to climb and you clip yourself into the wire and get going! Easy as pie... or so you'd think
A particular favourite is a set of four walls, all the same, with timer buttons to start at the bottom, and stop buttons at the top to see how quick you can climb up. Today Josh scored an amazing time of 7:84!! He scrambled up that wall like a proper monkey, was incredible!
Sam Sam the Ecolodge Man spent most of the day playing golf, which he did very well in, and Chris just chillaxed in the house and even baked a very sugary, diabetes inducing cake :)
So overall a fun day. We've got no plans for tomorrow as such (its sunday tomorrow) and then we're all off to Methven on Monday for Skiing.
Update you soon xx
