Hiatus

(Climbing all the way to the top on the auto belayer)

Sorry Ive been on hiatus for a little bit. Truth be told I got sent off to Singapore for a few weeks (Re: ~8 weeks) project. I am able to come back on weekends if I choose to do so, but in all honesty sometimes its tiring. Especially if you're flying in on a Friday night and flying out on a Sunday evening. You might as well stay put in Singapore and head back once every few weeks or so.

I was in the vicinity a few weekends ago. Headed out to Camp 5 for rock climbing with my German friend. For those of you who havent been rock climbing in a while. I would recommend you go for the full course (~4hrs) to teach you how to belayer. For those of you who have done rock climbing before but dont really know/ want to do the course, I recommend you READ all the information on the form before submitting it lest you end up like my friend

Receptionist/ experienced climber : So, you've led an expedition?? (awed)
German friend : What? No
R/EC : But you wrote here that you've led an expedition before....

So yes, note to self. Please read... CAREFULLY

Or alternatively, you can just climb on the auto belayer (don't need someone to spot you and therefore no need for a course)

(Slowly coming down on the auto belayer)


(They also have a free climbing zone. This is FAR harder than climbing up the wall since it comes with curves and hanging upside down and all)


(You can rent shoes and harnesses at Camp 5)

As for me, well Im heading back this week for my father's birthday, but will most likely stay back in Singapore for the next 2-3 weekends. See you after!
