Day 346/365: Humuhumu climbs (again)

[nanila]

At the latest climbing wall party, she conquered the Ice Pick climb. This one is reasonably challenging as an adult.

The staff put stickers at the tops of four of the climbs for the children to find. Humuhumu found two of them in the first seven minutes. She found the third a couple of minutes later, but I asked her to leave it for one of the other children - such as, perhaps, the birthday girl - to collect, which she obligingly did. And then went back to skinning everyone else up eight more of the climbs before time ran out.

I feel I should be planning that bouldering trip in France for the summer holidays now, y/y?

There's some good reasonably basic climbing around our way on the Ironbridge Gorge and around the Wrekin.

[nanila]

Huh, I hadn't thought of that! We'll have to try it out - possibly when it's not quite so chilly, brrrrr.

[wohali]

very yes.

[nanila]

:D Thanks.

[emelbe]

So yes.

[nanila]

Validation much appreciated. :D

[silveradept]

Absolutely. And possibly thinking about whether she should start taking parkour for smalls, since she seems to enjoy both the climbing and the gymnastic aspects of it.

[nanila]

So it turns out there is in fact parkour for smalls, not far from us. Thanks for the suggestion!

[silveradept]

Ah, that's extra happy coincidence that they're local. It seems like Humhumu will enjoy it. (I can also be very wrong about that.)

[sfred]

Wow!

[nanila]

I mean, I like rock climbing, but she is actually quite good at it (I'm not, haha).

[tree_and_leaf]

That child is amazing!

[nanila]

She does genuinely seem to have a gift for this!

[paw_prints]

Clever girl. :) Glad she had fun.

[nanila]

She had a brilliant time. Climbing parties are not going to get old anytime soon, I don't think.
