good Monday

Again with a swell climbing session with my dear friend and climbing partner; she took quite a whipper when a hold spun, and I caught her nicely, flying up in the air about 12 feet or so, and not dropping her. I'm so glad I tend to keep my belays snug for the first couple of clips. If I'd paid out any more rope, she would have "decked", or hit the ground, not a good thing. We're supposed to be practicing this sort of scenario, but who wants to do it on purpose?! The kids do it for cheap thrills.
A pleasant evening had by all.
