Accomplishments & Goals

Rock climbing, my new favorite way to get an awesome workout, is all about accomplishments and goals. The second you get to the top of one climb, you start thinking about the next one. It’s so fucking exhilarating!

Today, I made it up this badass, windy black 5.8 that goes up along the side of this chasm-like edge in the rock. I had to twist and turn a lot to make it to the top, but I did it! Then I did this grey climb that’s a little windy and keeps you off balance. It’s not hard enough to be a 5.8 except for the top part, where you go under this completely horizontal underhang before you get to the top. I made it under the underhang, but the grips are so slippery that I couldn’t quite make it to the top. Next time!

That’s what I mean, you have an accomplishment, and then you turn around and set another goal.
