Who says climbers cant be fat?

New Gym, new routes, higher walls, and a break again

Here in Calgary the new Calgary Climbing Center location (Rocky Mountain) and I was so excited to go. It does not disappoint, what a cool place. 
I didnt really realize it but Calgary is really a climbing city, I take for granted that we have some freaking top notch locations to climb here. I really dont know what is offered in other cities but I have this feeling that because we are beside the Rocky Mountains that we have more kick ass gyms than average. 
This gym is huge! And a little intimidating. The tallest wall is 65 ft, I havent been on that one,I just tried the mini walls, 40 ft. 
But I rocked them! All i am learning lately is really stepping up my game and making climbing a more thoughtful sport rather than just lugging my butt up the wall. 
I also am having so much fun climbing with my new climbing buddy Tamara, and I introduced her to my longest climbing buddy (and informal coach) my brother Chris! And what an awesome night we had. 
We all stepped out of our comfort zones and just killed some routes that surprised us all . 
But now, now I am done climbing for a few weeks, and maybe longer. 
We did a fertility treatment today so I am not allowed to climb until I know it didnt' work, of course if it did then I wont be climbing for a long time. Im so glad we went this time and went so hard!
