It was getting less stressful to both climb and watch Cassandra climb with each pass they made. Both because he'd now done the inevitable crashing off the wall, and because he was feeling more confident with the basics for the both of them. He definitely wasn't ready to be going upside down or skipping holds like he'd seen some of the clearly more experienced climbers do, but the basic idea of scaling a wall he felt like he'd got a handle on.

They tackled a couple more routes before their instructor called everyone back in to be fitted for their harnesses to have a go at roped climbing. It was a mildly uncomfortable experience. Soon he was feeling both well strapped in and rather exposed thanks to the fit of the harness. "That is a lot bigger than the bouldering wall," he said, looking up at the actual rock climbing wall towering above them.
