||| FROM LENA KASSA for ORCAS SENIOR CENTER |||
“I feel alive again” were the first words said by Karen as she left Climb San Juan, a climbing gym in Friday Harbor. Four climbers, including two first time climbers, enjoyed this Sunday outing sponsored by the Orcas Senior Center.
With instruction from the gym’s owner, the climbers quickly acquired skills that allowed them to overcome any fear or trepidation they may have had; all successfully reached the top of at least one climbing route. All four vowed to go again.
If you are interested in taking part in another climbing field trip, please contact Edy Hansen at (206) 413-6167 or Edy@orcasseniors.org and let her know what days of the week work best for you. Once at least four people express interest, she will organize another outing. Anyone aged 18 or older is welcome to sign up.
Edy, you’re helping the Senior Center rise to new heights. Congratulations for your out-of-the-box planning!
