Rock Climbing!

20110912


About a week ago, a bunch of institute scientists (and myself) went on a group trip to one of the local dormant volcano "mountains" to do a little rock climbing.  Not being a huge fan of heights, I didn't participate in any actual climbing, but I did have the pleasure of photographing the day's activities and the brave first-timers who were willing to give it a try.

While it looked like a lot of fun for those who climbed, I can still say, without a doubt, that I'd much rather stand on solid ground and just observe.  Maybe next time if I'm wearing a protective bodysuit made out of giant sized marshmellows to cushion my fall...  Maybe, but most likely not.
