RestingBird Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 I've seen a lot of topics come up on this blog/forum (no I haven't read ALL of it), but never the rock walls (random brief comments have been made). I'd love to hear your stories and whatnot! I'll start it off with mine. I was stoked before our first cruise when my wife said Enchantment had a climbing wall, "on a ship?", I was a little confused. Couldn't actually climb that first time around because I threw my back out washing my hands at a Rays game 2 days before we left. But, our last 3 I've been there. On Freedom I climbed 6 out of 7 days, and there were I think 2 routes on the wall I couldn't do, they just kicked my butt. On Serenade I was out there in the wind and rain hoping it would be open...nope, just me looking like a moron out there. It was open a few times when the weather was good, and I think 1 route beat me. I really love seeing ALL ages trying it out. Some give up too quick, but others dig down, and the look on their face when they make it is priceless. coneyraven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyraven Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 You know, it's funny that you bring this up ...... I was just saying to the Mrs, I may be inclined to give it a shot. I'm 54 and not in the greatest shape... but, WTH, you're on vacation, making a potential fool of yourself just adds to the memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocLC Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Remember to use you legs. I actually think the scariest, but most fun part, is coming down. It's a little unnerving at first, though, to let go of the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
