My Very First Multipitch « Figur8 - a woman's passion for sports

Combat Girl

"To climb is to control fear.
To run is to extend boundaries.
The physical challenge is a voyage of discovery, self-improvement, and mental discipline.
The rush is the natural high from adrenaline - nature's ecstasy.
When the pleasure surpasses the pain, routines and schedules are no more, it becomes a way of life."

My Very First Multipitch

Reminiscing over the old climbing days brought me back to the old photos we took. Rather than let them rot in my back-up drive, I decided to clean them up and post them here. Enjoy...

The first set is a series of photos from my first ever multipitch at Damai Wall, Batu Caves, way back in 2002. The route was called "The Good Onion", graded 5C, 6A.

Really gotta thank S for teaching us the ropework and safety drills for multi-pitching...
