Back to the subject of a recent “Silent Sunday<\/a>” of mine…. Granted a skirt and tights might not be your usual climbing uniform, but having dropped her little brother off at a party here and quite fancying having a go herself, the Eight Year Old threw caution to the wind…<\/p>\n

Boulderwelt<\/a> is a massive indoor (and outdoor) complex in the centre of Munich, and is so well done it even had me quite tempted into having a go.\u00a0 Having been “half spider” from a very young age, being faced with something that she was positively encouraged to climb without her mother freaking out about how high up she was, or whether she should actually be up there at all meant the Eight Year Old was positively in her element.\u00a0\u00a0 For 13 Euros for the whole day climbing it works out at pretty good value too!<\/p>\n

Climbing was something her father used to be passionate about too in his University Days (well she didn’t get it from me!) and so it was really nice for him to be able to get involved and “show her the ropes” as it were.<\/p>\n

As this is something we will be doubtless be returning to time and again as a family, for those of us not so “climbing inclined” they have a pretty good cafe just out of reach, but close enough to shout support from the sidelines if necessary…<\/p>\n

And as a reward to those of us that had pushed personal climbing boundaries (or perhaps useful as an incentive), I highly highly recommend the authentic Portugese Custard Tarts in the Meisterverein\u00a0 just around the corner!<\/p>\n
