Climbing! Hisashiburi!
I went climbing.
The whole family went. we went to a rock gym in Kashiba. We went to Silver Stone gym. It was great. And the price was reasonable.
There is no membership system there and I was glad for that. Also, you had to assume all your own risks. I was feeling good about that. This reminds me of my experience climbing in the Rockies back home, which I shared in detail in [Skiing in 2016](/skiing-in-2016). The boys were a bit slow to get going but did not want to leave near the end except that they were tired and knew they could not do much more. They had a great time.
One of the things I loved about Silver Stone gym was its proximity - only an hour's drive from home, making it a great option for day trips like this one (I've explored similar day trip ideas in [Fortress Made of Air](/fortress-made-of-air)). And we can take the car. As I mentioned in my review of [Silver Stone Gym](/silver-stone-gym), this was one of the factors that made our visit so enjoyable - no membership fees or expensive parking to worry about! I really liked it.
Even Chiaki got in a bit of climbing done today. We all drove home quietly - I guess that means we all had a great time and were tired.
