You know when your doing great when…Posted by simon on November 25th, 2008
I can’t tell you how fun today has been. Today I finally went outdoors and did my first sport climb in Queen Creek. My sphincter has never puckered so tight as when I was setting the quickdraws for our first route of the day. When you are 45 feet up, with a stiff breeze and 6 feet of slack between you and your last clip, you begin to appreciate how great just being on the ground or doing a simple bouldering route can be. Though when you get to the top there are few things in life as fulfilling. Graduating High School, College, getting my development job all pale in comparison. I mean I’m sure the fear had something to do with it being very fulfilling or maybe the one year build up of climbing to get to this point, though it’s not like any of the other goals in my life have been minor.
