A new high

Sometimes when I go climbing after not climbing for a while, I feel completely intimidated. Like will I remember how to move? Will I remember to trust my legs? Will I feel completely stupid? Will I totally embarrass myself? The thing is, when I get on the wall, I don't really care if I embarrass myself.

Anyway, I haven't been climbing quite as often as I was before. And when I do go, I remember why I love it so much. Because for an hour and a half, nothing else mattered.

And, there is an obstacle in the wall that I haven't been able to get past. Of course I could pick a different rope and climb a different part of the wall. But of course I am determined to get over the hump so to speak. Well today, I did it. And it was awesome.
