Last year Andy won some passes to Central rock Gym. they have a few locations about the same distance from us but in opposite directions. We decided to give the facility in Randolph a try today. We drove there for when they opened and go there and found out that they were only open to members of the gym until 2pm. It was 10am. Rather than wait around I called the location in Warwick to make sure that they were open to the public when they opened at 11am. They were so we drove there.
Along the way we stopped to grab some lunch at Sonic in Rhode Island. Andy enjoyed lunch and then was ready to get to the Central Rock Gym.
We got there and filled out the necessary paperwork so that Andy could climb. Andy started out bouldering and that is the photo that I captured for today. Andy was fairly high up and hung for that one hold for a few moments before getting their feet under them and going up further. I was pretty impressed with Andy’s strength as they climbed. After doing some bouldering we got instruction on how to use the Auto belay system, which Andy already knew from Rock Spot but because it was our first time at Central Rock Gym we got a refresher. Then Andy climbed each of the auto belay routes in the gym and by that time as tired and ready to head home.
I made French Toast for dinner tonight along with an experiment of making French toast using uncrustables. These are peanut butter and jelly crustless pre-made sandwiches. I saw someone make them on tik tok so I wanted to try it out. It was okay, I would have preferred them to be crispier but it was hard to make a whole loaf of Italian bread French Toast and also these at the same time with bacon and tater tots and attempt to get them all out and warm at the same time. It was a nice dinner and we were joined by Eva’s friend Steven.
