Just hangin' from out, a weblog by George Girton

Just hangin' . . . . . sep 20 2003 — o29.dat

Yesterday I dropped by the los angeles office of Rockreation, near where I work. It was early afternoon, so the after-work crush of climbers and yoga-istas hadn't packed the foam-covered floor, not to mention the handhold-covered walls and ceilings.

Looking off into the distance (yes, this place is big enough inside to have a part of it that's 'in the distance', I noticed a young climber making her way up a handhold-covered concrete wall. A VERY young climber, like maybe about two years old. Tied into a rope harness and belayed by her rope-holding dad, she was about six feet off the ground on a near-vertical pitch, exploring her next step with bare foot. Not really climbing, just hangin'.

It turned out her father was a representative of one of the climbing-shoe manufacturers.

Rats! I missed the monthly meeting of Adobe southern California Technical exchange, and it was a good one too. Next month I'll see you all there, it's about scanning thousands of slides and negs, maybe this will be my salvation!
