The Edinburgh International Climbing Arena bills itself as being the largest indoor climbing venue in the world. Since both Jenni and Cameron have shown a great interest in climbing recently, we are very lucky to have it just a half hour’s drive away.

Today, the kids had a great day there. I haven’t yet learned to belay, Marie has and she spent several hours holding onto the end of ropes and being ready to take the strain should either of the kids fall off the wall they were climbing. Luckily, this didn’t happen.

Here is Marie belaying for Cameron, who has made it to the top of a Grade 4+ climb.
