I've only been able to go climbing once but have hopes to go again sometime.
My friend has all of the gear and took me out with him to the Wichita Mountains at Quartz Mountain outside of Altus, OK. After a short hike we reached a nice climb. We had to do a little bouldering to get to where we needed to be and after that I was instructed on how to belay correctly and safely. My buddy did a free climb on his own to set up the run and afterwards I followed him up!
It was definitely exhilarating! When I reached the top I couldn't help but just yell out! I'm not really the yell at the top of your lungs type so this was a big deal for me.
my guide
I had a hat on but lost it at one point and had to go back down into a thicket to get it so this is one of my only hatless moments. This run was called windy point or windy face or something like that so I should have known.

Posed shot, I climbed back up to this point to get a good pic.
