Bouldering

A few weeks ago we met some good friends for lunch and then headed over to The Circuit in Portland. It is a great bouldering gym with all kinds of climbing levels to choose from. Martin and Luke had a BLAST! This was their first time and they did fantastic. If they had actual climbing shoes I can only imagine what they could do. Both our boys have been climbing machines since day one! It was fun to see them conquer what they put their minds to. It was a great day and after 3 1/2 hours of bouldering they appeared to actually be a bit tired...this is rare. Thank you Anja and Lia for a fun day.

Younger children's area. Climb up the wall, slide down the slide

Next level up. Climb up wall, walk down ladder.

This was tough!


This next series is of Martin. He wanted SO badly to get
to the top of this boulder. It took him multiple tries, but he
finally nailed it. I was impressed.

Almost there

He nailed it! He was SO excited.

This is the first time I've heard the term "bouldering"! We call it rock climbing in our city -- we must be behind the times! My sons would love this place. :o)
