This past weekend, as part of our fifth anniversary celebrations, Alli and I jointly took a rock climbing 101 class. We had an awesome time!

I was into rock climbing very briefly about 11 years ago.  I stopped because I did not have a partner, and I only did top-roping, which requires a partner, at the time.

We took the class at Metro Rock, which is an indoor climbing gym on Boston’s north shore,  in Everett.  We had a fantastic time, our instructor Dan was awesome, and we look forward to climbing more in the future.

I’m now looking for some rock climbing gear, especially a harness and shoes.  Any recommendations?
