Yeah, climbing with ropes and safety gear is kind of new for me - I've only ever done it a couple times before, down at UNC. Prior to that, it was freeclimbing in the Cascades in high school. What is now Pinnacles State Park is just down the road from where I grew up - deck shoes were as equipment-conscious as we got.
Learning to trust the rope is, I suspect, a lot harder when you've done climbing before, and letting go, slipping, or making a sloppy move is REALLY BAD. Getting over that was probably the biggest win last night.
