Peace of Adventure

Sitting, waiting, wishing…

Spot the climber…

The face of someone about to sneak boulder, eyeing up the route

Spent the last 2 days in a&e so now at the climbing centre with the boy, watching him climb, waiting for him to get distracted so I can sneak some bouldering in without him realising!

I can’t be a patient any longer, went to hospital with what felt like a heart attack on Satruday morning at work. I’ve never been so scared in all my life and I have never felt my heart like that before. All i could think was I’m too young, too fit and healthy for this so now I’m climbing, everybody asking me if I’m ok is starting to drive me insane and none of the docs can figure out whats wrong. So screw you doc my idea of rest is a good ole boulder.

On another, much happier note, here’s my puretty new spangly climbing shoes…

I’m in love. Sorry Nike, these are my new loves.

Happy days, hope y’all are having an ace time.

Rainbows, unicorns and all that jazz.

Feel sick, had a wobble. Went all miserable for uno momento.

I wanted to quit the ‘dream job’, all went a bit to pot, may have been a massive miserable fun sponge.

Now the realisation that I’m making myself feel that way and I knew I need to get a grip, deal with it and not take for granted that I’m having a blast and to chill out and have fun. 

It’s all smiles.

Do you have to fake it to make it…maybe if I do it’ll be real. Naaah that’s dramatic it is real.

How, one person can make you go from feeling on top of the world and, that maybe all those things you thought you would never do are now possible.

Can then make you feel utterly worthless and pointless. They confirm everything you really thought about yourself but you hoped wasn’t true.

Run.

I’ve had one of the best weeks of my life!

I discovered climbing. It has a bizarre hold on me already, being as naturally competitive as I am trying different and harder grades has me hooked. Just you against yourself, it all comes down to you and you can only hold yourself responsible for what you can or cannot do. I love it. More than that it reminds me of skiing, it’s a similar feeling I get, if not maybe a better one after climbing or bouldering a route that I would after a ski run, where everything flows and you could swear your no longer on the ground.

I think climbing may be overtaking skiing in my life… and I ain’t even ashamed to say it!

As soon as I’m back in my room, all I can think about is when we can go climbing next, what routes am I going to do, what grade can I get to, what do I need to do between now and then to be better next time I’m at the wall. Addict.

Being home was so nice as well, really chilled, good food, good company and so good to see the clan again.The only thing I want to do is up sticks and go every now and again, the twitchy traveling feet are creeping up on me. Uh-oh.

Tea…

Plus I haven’t been stronger and it’s only been 4 days!

Not even sorry
