(What is RSS?)...down a bit of a mountain at the weekend. I wasn’t climbing but I think in a way this will go some way towards dealing with my fear (I don’t think it will cure it but it is making me think of it more differently).
I didn’t get terribly hurt but it could have been much worse. I’m bruised and was shocked but can see the funny side now (blackly funny but funny nonetheless) and know that it won’t stop me going up the mountains again.
...I went to The Castle and did some bouldering yesterday. Predictably I was Rubbish but that’s only to be expected given that I’d not been for ages.
I still get The Fear though. And am stupid with the whole “looking down” thing. Really stupid. I get to the last but one move on a problem and look at my feet. And then decide that no, I can’t reach the top after all.
It probably would help if my shoes were broken in a little better too. At the moment I look at my feet and think aargh painpainpain!!!!!! and then get scared!
Am going to attempt to go again this week when it’s quieter.
