February Vacation Climbing Fun

Andy and Preston

It is February vacation week and we aren’t headed anywhere so I set up a few things for Andy to do with friends. Andy has a friend from when they were in karate. Andy’s friend Preston is the son of my friend Emily. She and I take Krav Maga classes together. Preston has climbed a few times with Andy and this Christmas the Rock Spot location had a sale on 5 passes so I told emily and she got them for Preston. That way we could get together and the boys could climb together.

We went over to climb in the early afternoon and the boys did about an hour of solid climbing together. We got there a bit early and Andy did a whole bunch of bouldering to get warmed up. Bouldering still stresses me out even though Andy isn’t going that high. It is my aversion to heights that stresses me out. But Andy is very good at climbing and does a great job every time we go.

the boys had a lot of fun climbing together. It is nice seeing Andy spend some time with Preston. They get along very well.

Ive been printing another sword for Eva. this one is the sword that Nico Di Angelo has in the Percy Jackson books. His sword is made of Stygian Iron and it is black. I just changed over to the black filament in the 3D printer so there was no better time to do this than now. The build is a really good one, too. Very secure and most everything fit together very well. The type of sword is a Falcata. I used a bunch of clamps to keep things in place as the glue dries on the pieces. There were a few small gaps so I filed them with some wood filler. that way we can paint and it should cover everything.
