2008.03.08. - Rock Climbing in Kelkheim

The Sportpark in Kelkheim has a new Indoor Rock Climbing Gym.

We decided to test it with the kids.
The range of routes with varying degree of difficulty is over 100.

Here is one where Julia would have not reached the top without assistance due to an overhang (now) just below her feet.

Daniel is a little monkey who has been literally climbing the door frames of our house.

Here with just one foothold for his feet and a nasty edge to the right he is in desperate need of an experienced climber's problem-solving skills.

His legs and arms feel tired but they won't give up as long as his mind doesn't. And it doesn't.

It is astonishing how high and at what speed a small child can climb.

Without showing the slightest fear Ann Marie demonstrated this to us again. She had fun and lots of energy to get rid of.

I think it's safe to say that this was not the last time we visited the climbing walls of the gym!
