Ascending on Ascension day

As you may very well be able to see I’m hanging from a rope up in the left top corner, the guy below on the ground is my brother making sure I dont go splat… Today on ascension day we had the day off and decided to go ascending (a.k.a. Climbing), lucky for me I have tomorrow off as well to recover from the muscle aches…

We took the car into The Hague to go to the Uithof. It’s basically a big recreation center where you can go ice skating, go karting, snowboarding and climbing. We got there and had to wait a little for the first time introduction course which was a simple introduction as to how to secure the climber and such. The material was a little different to that in Australia but all in all it was good fun. We both climbed to the top a few times, while my sister did the photography. Around dinner time we headed back home to have dinner of course (duh), so with our worn muscles I drove us back home and now we wait for tomorrow to see if any pain strikes…
Ascending on ascension day resulted in us getting to the top and just going back down again, I guess the rule what goes up must come down still applies here
