We enjoyed four consecutive days of rock climbing.Finally, my hands hurt so much that I coudn't hold any rocks. We gave up climbing and explored a new climbing area nearby, called "The Aquqrium Area". I'd like to visit there again next winter.

Last week, I went rock climbing at Cope Hedo in northen Okinawa with my frirend. The weather was beautiful and the temperature was high, over 20 degrees every day. I tried a route calles "Uruma"(12ab). It was the highest grade I had climbed so far.

On January 4th, I went to a rock climbing area named "Shin-iwa" with my friend. This was my first outdoor climbing in 2023. "Shin-iwa" is a new area near my house, in Takarazuka city as the name suggests. Many local climbers also gathered and enjoyed the first climbing this year. That rocky place was built by Hideki Higashi, one of Japan's leading rock climbers. Luckily I was able to RP the route named "Hobbit (11b)" in the second time. I made it!
