Rock climbing should always start with indoor practice. We kicked ass by practicing on Climb On gym located just 50 minutes from Chicago. After about 1.5hrs of climbing my forearms said - no more, which indicates only one thing, I really have to start working on those muscles :-) Clearly, they have not been used in a long time (at least not that extensively). We had lots of fun. On the picture from left to right: Danny (me), Anna (front), George (back), Ewelina (front), Joanna, and Mario. Jerry did not make it for the picture. He's running on the left trying to catch a nice pose.
