Yep, that's my boy! I decided to drag Joe with me climbing tonite in my quest to get the boy in shape and have him experience new things. He tried climbing while at 4-H camp and said it was o.k. but didn't really care to go again but he thought it was o.k. This disappointed me. I told him he could just watch and decide when we got there but I wouldn't force him. Although I really, really wanted to. We met my friend Doug there and his 2 girls. He took a look around and said it looked like what he expected. I asked what he wanted to do and he surprised me with saying he would try. Gasp...what? So we got him set up. The boy shocked me. After his orientation he was off and doing the auto belays, without me. He was a beast. The wall kicked his ass over and over and yet he didn't quit. I have never seen this side of him. It was freaking awesome!! This is what I have been waiting for. In the end I almost had to rip him off the wall to go home. Wish we could have stayed longer but it wasa long drive home. I was disappointed in that they reset the one wall that I was hoping to go and finally conquer. Oh well.
