Outside? Like Good kids? Sacre bleu! I am sure I cannot imagine such a thing.

On the belay note though... I reckon I could probably run belay for him without an anchor, once I get used to the fact that my feet are going to be slowly lifting off the ground at the same time. I think after I get a bit more used to the equipment it'll be an option, in the meantime I'm all about avoiding things that'll startle me and cause me to muck up.

When I try that again though, I'm going to stand Below the top rope attachment though so I go Up, not sideways into the wall. Our poor instructor really wanted to help me but he was laughing too hard...
