My First Aid Climb

I've been slowly collecting quite a bit of climbing gear and decided to try out some aid climbing. Aid climbing is a gear-intensive, anything-goes style of climbing generally used to climb 1000 foot walls like the ones in Yosemite.
But, there are no walls anywhere near me like that, so I decided to try out some aid climbing down at Tanesashi Seaside outside Hachinohe.It was good practice setting gear and such, but I did look a little rediculous climbing a 15-foot boulder with my huge rack;)
