I'm on the right, my shoes were glowing whenever I wasn't in the light too! At least I looked like a professional climber, right?
Last night was great! I went down for my shift at 7PM, kitted out with knitted socks, to layers of leggings, 2 jumpers on, and even a hat and gloves if need be. Thankfully it wasn't that cold. I first billayed Illisha for 10 climbs and did six myself afterwards. We had so many 'guest climbers', extra students who wanted to try out the wall for the first time that a lot of the AoC students had to wait... Which was a bit problematic. Even so that night I did 15 climbs, moving faster towards the end when Robbie promised it was good to tone all of the leg muscles! When I left that night we were at 350 climbs, and there was another shift from 9-11 of students still to go.
This morning I got there at 8AM, planning to do at least 15 more, but they told me there were only 40 more climbs to go! We overestimated how long it would take us to do the climb! Evenso I got up there first and did 10 more, with only 10 more climbs to go so I got down so others who were on the same shift as me could have a turn. Even made it to double-code History. Phew.
We'll all be there for the last three climbs at 2PM this afternoon, I know the atmosphere will be great. Our service had a great time.
Thank you to everyone who supported the climb, all the proceeds are going to the Atlantic College Student Scholarships.
