Collin laughed as he watched Becca fumble with her harness. "Just put the straps through the clips," he said, planning to help her eventually but not until he got his own on. When he'd heard that Becca had never been to a rock wall, he made it his goal to get her to and on one. And now they were here.. and she was already having problems. But it was okay, he figured he'd get a lesson in teaching and help her through, step by step.
After tightening his harness, Collin moved towards Becca and shooed her hands from the straps. "Lemme," he said, squatting a bit to reach for the straps that were dangling by her legs. He lifted them, one in each hand, and slid them back through her harness and into place. A firm tug on each one and she was ready to go. "For real, bro, its not so difficult," he laughed, resting his hands on his hips.
"Now," he squatted and reached back to his bag where two pairs of rather funny looking shoes sat. "Put these on," he handed her a light purple pair, keeping the green pair for himself. Honestly the colors had nothing to do with anything, the green ones just happened to be bigger. "They're gonna be tight.. that's just how rock climbing shoes are." Collin stayed seated and began pulling on the shoes, adjusting the velcro straps as he did so.
Collin came to the gym today in a pair of black Nike shorts (hanging to just below his knees) and a white tank top. Around his forehead was a light blue bandana.

Becca couldn't manage to do anything that involved climbing. Although she hadn't admitted it, heights scared her. She had hoped that if she couldn't get the harness on, Collin would give up and climb on his own so she could watch. But no, he was too stubborn to do something like that. When he tightened the straps, she awkwardly shuffled her legs. "This feels weird," she whined, pulling gently at the course fabric strips that were cinched around her upper thighs. "I can't fathom how you stand this."
She slipped on the shoes that he shoved at her, and admired the color. They were a pretty kind of purple, a little lavender. Not at all what she would normally wear. She realized she was a little oddly dressed for climbing. Black shorts and a nice, loose-fitting cotton shirt was apparently too dressy. She had taken off her jewelry, but she definitely wasn't sporting anything... well, sporty.
Glancing at Collin for instructions, she put her hands on her hips, sucked in her lower lip, and sighed. "I don't think I can do this," she gulped, looking up at the very tall wall. What if she fell? What if she got stuck at the top? What if godzilla came in and took a bite off of her head?

Collin looked up from his shoes when Becca said she didn't think she could do this. "Whaaaat?" he sort of whined, standing up from his crouched position. "Why not? Its not so bad!" He put his fists on his hips and leaned back a bit to look up at the wall. Just as he did so, he noticed Becca almost sort of cringe. Was it the height?
"You're not afraid of heights, are you?" he asked, looking back to her. She seemed pretty scared. "Must I climb up there and jump around to prove that you won't fall?" he added with a goofy smile as he elbowed her in the side.
After grabbing one of the ropes and hooking himself in, Collin turned to Becca yet again. "You could always start on the kiddy wall. No one uses it.. so you'd be perfectly safe," he said, reaching out to grab her harness. He tugged at it a bit, pulling her closer and offered up a sweet smile. After tying her in, Collin kept his hands at her waist on the rope. "I won't let you fall," he said softly.

Becca sort of moaned softly as she looked up at the wall. It was way too tall, and way to scary. Her mind ran through all of the possible injuries she could acquire from it... blisters on her hands, sprained wrists, a broken neck from falling to her death... She shuddered, and looked down as Collin hooked her onto the ropes. The kiddy wall was sounding a lot more safe, and it looked way less intimidating, but she didn't want to look weak in front of Collin. Taking a deep breath, she tugged on the ropes to make sure that they were tight, and noticed his hands still at her waist.
"Oh," she muttered, when he mentioned he wouldn't let her fall. Why was his voice so soft and... nice all of the sudden? Her mind flashed to a mental image of Cameron, and she just stepped back from Collin. "Thanks, Col," she shrugged and offered a small smile. "I'll race you to the top, then. Loser buys dinner afterward?" She suggested.

Collin barely let go of Becca's harness when she pulled away. But alas, he gave in and let her go, not wanting to be creepy. When she said she'd race him to the top of the wall, Collin laughed. "You're so on," he said before turning back to their belayers who looked ready as ever. "Can we race?" Collin asked, giving a thumbs up. The two men holding the ropes returned the thumbs up and Collin smiled. "Alright looks like we're-" but Becca was already running at the wall. "You cheater!" he yelled, chasing after her and practically launching himself onto the wall.
Within seconds, he'd already scraped his knee. "You're totally gonna be buying me dinner!" he huffed, reaching high for a green knob and kicking his left leg up as he landed a foothold.

Becca knew running at the wall early was cheating but... he'd done this before. There was totally reason for her to be a little bit unfair! She got to the wall and pulled herself up with a grunt. This took a lot of arm strength... She knew she was supposed to use her legs, but she was having trouble finding hand holds and places to put her feet. While Collin was already two feet up ahead of her, she was barely off the ground. "I'm doing no such thing!" She yelled after him, and tried to scooch up the wall as best as she could.
"This... sucks..." she muttered, already out of breath. She couldn't handle this, it was too difficult! But she didn't have the cash to buy dinner for Collin so... climbing it was. She huffed and puffed, pulling herself up, hand hold by hand hold. And yet she was still way too far behind! Looking down to mark her progress, she noticed that they were at least ten feet up, and her stomach flip flopped. She clung tightly to the wall, close enough to scratch her face against the rough material. She squeezed her eyes tight and heard her belayer below, calling to see if she needed help. Already she could feel her lungs sucking in too much air as she began to half-hyperventilate. "Oh my god, oh my god," she murmured, unable to move farther.

Collin was about half way up the wall, laughing as he went, when he realized Becca was no longer at his side. She hadn't been exactly next to him, but he'd at least been able to see her out of the corner of his eye. And now? Well.. he had no idea where she was. Stopping, Collin looked down to see her flat against the wall, eyes shut. "Aw fuck," he whispered then looked down at his belayer and pointed at the ground. Slowly, he started to scale downwards and to the right until he was side by side with her.
"Too high?" he asked, releasing his right hand and placing it on her back. "Come on, we can get down now. I'll buy dinner." He smiled at her, but she hadn't opened her eyes. Turning his head back over his shoulder, he looked down to the belayers who seemed to be laughing at them. "Ey! Take us down real slow!" he yelled, catching both of them by surprise. Collin turned back to Becca. "Alright just hold tight.. we'll inch down real slow. I won't let you fall." And with that, Collin took a step down. His right arm was out behind Becca's back for reassurance and he tried to keep his right knee just under her as well. "Come on, Becca. You can do this!" He smiled again, thinking she might look at him.

When Collin magically appeared at her side, she just closed her eyes tighter. "I can't do this," she said through clenched teeth. When the ropes started to move and she felt the tension that told her to move downward, she just clung tighter to the wall. "No, I want to keep climbing," she insisted, opening her eyes a tiny bit. She looked at Collin, who's eyes showed nothing but concern for his friend, and she just had to keep going. It felt too lame to just give up now. She wanted to prove to him, to the belay people, to everyone that she could do this! "Let's keep climbing, please?"

Collin tilted his head tot he side when she said she wanted to keep climbing. "Oh.. well if you're sure," he said. "I'll still buy dinner though. You practically shit yourself, its the least I can do," he teased, poking her shoulder before reattaching himself to the wall.
"Never mind!" he yelled down to the two guys who were by now thoroughly confused. When they started asking questions, Collin just shrugged and turned back to the wall. "Mkay so.. I guess we'll just get to the top real slow then," he said as he started inching back up again.
"Yknow.. my first time climbing, I was so fucking scared. I got to the top no problem.. but then they told me to come down," he froze with a smile on his face, grabbed a lip in the wall, and released his other hand and both feet. "I hung like this for a good half hour," he said with a chuckle before swinging his feet back up and taking hold again. "No problem now cuz I mean.. I'm ripped," he said jokingly with a silly deep voice, "But back then.. I couldn't lift my arm for two days." Laughing again, Collin looked at Becca. He knew she had a thing with that Cameron kid.. she spent an awful lot of time with him. He was sure he wasn't really supposed to know, though, and for all he knew, he could be wrong. So he'd always kept his mouth shut about it. But 'thing with Cameron' or not, he still thought she was beautiful.

Becca bit her lower lip, grimaced, and and steeled herself. "I promised myself I'd make it to the top," she explained, and turned her head to grin at him. Hr green eyes flashed with the amusement she found in a challenge. "Besides, I have to b eat you, still." She teased, reaching up with her free hand to find a coarse, green rock with a dip that fit her fingers. A red rock just a foot above her right hand was beckoning, and she used all the strength that she could find in her arms to pull herself up the next foot and a half. By the time she got to the top, her hands were sore and her muscles were crying out for a break. She looked down at her belayer, and then gulped. He was so far down... It was such a big drop.
Her fingers, normally nimble and perfect, felt too thick and her grip was looser than she wanted it to be as her palms began to sweat with the strain of staying in one place. To help herself climb before, she only told herself there was no where to go but upwards, and didn't think about falling. Now? There was no more upwards. They were at the top, finally. Becca looked to Collin, who had waited at the top for her when she was finishing the rest of the climb. Now, it didn't matter about winning or loosing. She just wanted to get down.
"Collin," she looked at him, eyes wide, her fear not well hidden. "How do I get off this bloody wall?"
