to climb on.

Rock climbing on monday for SPE. Fell off at the 6th tile or 7th. Swung off in fact. Fingers were too sore and my upper back was starting to ache. Then cause of the swing, the right side's aching again, and the right bicep is somewhat tensed, okay, quite tensed. Both shoulders're popping really often tonight too. Mmmm..


But still, i really really wanna climb again. I miss climbing. That ecstatic feeling you get when you reach the top is something you cant get anywhere else. Feel no pressure, no fear when climbing. Unlike in track or canoeing. When climbing, i find myself focusing; more determined and less distracted by the external situation.

While rock climbing is an individual event, a team-effort is also visible in the sport. The climber must have trust in their belayer. Like God, they are the ones who ensure you'll be alright after every fall. If one doesnt trust the person belaying, one can never truly climb on; always being too afraid of falling.

Your belayer.
To catch you when you fall. To guide you in moving on.

Because God, you are my belayer.
