One week of climbing down, and things are going great. We're all a little sore, beat up, swollen, and smelly, but having the time of our lives. Today we climbed the Alcalali cliffs, a pretty popular spot. We all got to practice our lead climbing in the morning, which for those of you who don't know is when the climber has the rope tied to their harness and clips it into the cliff as they go, dragging it with them until they reach an anchor at the top of the route. Lead climbing is more dangerous than top-roping, our normal mode of climbing, but we all did great. We also got a lot of harder routes in later in the day, which was satisfying, if not painful.
Tonight I headed into Finestrat with the whole gang for dinner. We ate at a local pizza place, and every course included cheese as a major component-even my salad was more cheese than lettuce. No complaints from this girl.
It's quarter two eleven and everyone else has already turned in-a long day of hard work and mass amounts of cheese will do that to a person-so I'll leave it here for tonight. Eat cheese, sleep well.
