PowerUp Climbing at ROX BGC (part 2)

Wall or Indoor climbing is a fun activity especially when you do it with outgoing supportive friends! Throughout our climb, I and my girl would take turns shouting some motivational encouragement and that would be either food or some cocktail drink. And this time around, my motivation was rewarding myself with a gin tonic. Well, it helps us relax and to have fun despite the focus and determination we must put on to reach the top.

In the previous video I shared, we were still warming on the beginner's route. It was just the needed exercise to be able to do more harder levels. I managed to do the next one which has more random blocks compared to the beginner's where most blocks were placed straightforwardly. This means it was a little bit of a challenge since we have to strategically determine which blocks to reach for with our hands and placed our feet so we can advance higher. Thus, took me a bit more time to finish.

My friend also did the same route though she finished quickly compared to me.

In this video, you can also witness the staff/guide climbing and attaching carabiners to the anchor points on the hardest route. It was cool to watch him move easily from one block to another and reach the top like it was nothing.

This lady then conquered that route successfully despite wanting to stop midway. Initially, she was having a hard time then I started cheering for her followed by others who were watching her as well so she took a break and then pushed through to the top later on. I was just admiring her and how strong she was. She was probably been training for quite some time now.

Wall Climbing is not only for the adrenaline junkies out there but can be just for everyone who wants to shed some sweat, try something new, or a fun activity to do with your family and friends. This must be on your bucket list!
