Friday's Climb (13/04/07)

Climbers: Bing, King
Venue: Camp5
Guests: Sean and Hui Loo

We usually climb only once a week, but this week is exceptional because it is our mid-semester break from university. Joining us this time is Sean (King's cousin) and Hui Loo (one of our close friends since highschool)!



Sean and Hui Loo

This isn't Sean's first time here in camp5, he has taken up the 10-day pass, and this is probably his fourth time climbing here. He's still new to rock climbing, but he's definitely picking it up rather quickly. In fact, Sean even 'one-shotted' a 6a+ trail!

As for Hui Loo, this is probably her second time climbing, and also her second time here in camp5. It seems that she has improved as she managed to climb some rather challenging routes with just a little guidance!

Today's climb was rather interesting, as we decided to take lots of photos for our blog in order to finish making our layout and backgrounds. Of course it was embarrassing to have people staring at us as we looked like a bunch of amateurs enthusiastically taking pictures of our 'first' rock climbing experience. But we decided to do it anyway, putting our pride aside for the greater good of Vertical Rising!

Do I get to be a 'guest', or better yet, 'international guest', if I give you pics and articles from the climbing scene here? -grin-

Bing's sister :P

By the way, are you planning to let other people contribute to your site at some stage? I'd like to spread the word to my friends about your blog, but they'd probably be more interested if they could contribute too!

Hey Joey! That's an awesome idea! I'll have to discuss with bing about it and see how we could fit that into the site =).

As for others contributing articles to the site, probably yes, but not anytime soon. We still have alot to settle and start posting our posts on time before we could handle anymore stuff =P.
