Jaden's 1st Climbing Class

Jaden started a new climbing class this fall at Seattle Vertical World. He and his buddy Graison are in the class together. Here he is on his first day trying to go parallel on the climbing wall.

Here he is meeting with his class which is called Little Rockers.
Jaden working in the bouldering room, which is a room that has a very thick padded cushion on the floor. The climbing walls aren't as high as in other parts of the gym so people can free climb without harnesses or ropes. Jaden's teacher said that the students were free to go as high as they were willing to fall or jump in the bouldering room!

At first, Jaden decided not to go to high.
Jaden with his teacher about to belay him so he can climb really high on one of the gyms walls.



He did reach the top, but I didn't get a picture. When I asked him what was on the top he said, "dust!"
More climbing in the bouldering room on a slanted wall.
