I went rock climbing for a few hours tonight. This is me on the first run when I was still going on unlimited energy. By the third time up, I was feeling the burn. Regardless, I still find it to be the most rewarding sport I’ve ever tried. Especially when the instructor refuses to let me fall and pushes me to persevere to the top. This is considered a more simple run but there are other ones where you have to catapult yourself up over ledges to get higher. Half way up on my second try I had sweat pouring down my face and wanted nothing more than to float down. I realized my hands were so sweaty that I was slipping off the rocks so I swung over to another climber to borrow some chalk. It made all the difference and I did end up making it to the top on the more challenging run. When I came down I was physically drained but the sense of accomplishment made it so well worth it. I love how the instructors push me to go further.
