climb more

i was about 7 or 8 and i was in a park and i wanted to climb on the swingset onto the big pole that holds the swings , so i did it , then i didnt know how to get down and i started crying and i was up there for 45 minutes until my dad came and got me :-| oh and a big crowd of kids came and watched me suffer.

So its spring, still at school and i so wish i could just be out there in nature just having sum space. There isnt any really really good climbing oppertunities here unless you count going rock climbing inside. It’s definately on my agenda to get out there and climb. I want to build up my strengh and do what i love.

I’m climbing this weekend!!

I go every so often, but not often enough. Hopefully I’ll get a reliable friend or two to take up climbing with me and we can go every weekend or something. I need to start building up my arm/shoulder/back/stomach muscles and they’re not going to grow on their own. I also just want to get better at climbing and have fun. A few of my friends have been a couple of times and have really enjoyed it, so it’s not like I have to completely introduce them to the sport. in 8 months i have my license so i can drive myself to the gym!

Six months later…

I went to PT and made absolutely no progress. Now I am scheduled for surgery in December in the hopes that I will be back in climbing/hiking/running shape by March.

i’ve been on a road trip for 8 months, i think that i can call this one completed. i’ve learned a lot, met a good many folks that i now call friends and created some really good memories. it a part of me now, inseparable as long as i can still pull it off.

Once my knee is back in shape, I’ll be back on the wall!

until i have my hand surgeon’s permission to go climbing.

But in late December/early Januray, i definitely hope to check out the Cleveland Rock Gym!

best. comp. ever.

the arms are so tired that i’m lucky that i can type this. i’ll work up to brushing my teeth soon.

the fingerssssss, they hurtsss! after the comp. this weekend, no climbing till next year!
