This video is not very technically exciting. It is really just me working on my project. It has been 5 months in the making...hopefully tomorrow I will send.
I realized today that rock climbing is kind of like dating. There are a lot of similarities. Here are a few of the ones that I thought of today. Some are funny, some are just realistic.
I was on my way to try to send the project today and realized it was kind of like the feeling before a first date. You can't really know what to expect, you're nervous about what is expected and how well you will do. You think about the last time and how it went. You really want to succeed however you can't help but wonder if you'll be on your game or not.
When something goes well, it is the best feeling in the entire world. You feel like nothing can bring you down from your high. The next day you try the same thing and it is a disaster. You wonder what the shit was different between the two days? You climbed well yesterday on the route, and today went horribly...Nothing has changed except the end result. The next day is back to normal. No explanations.
It can consume your thoughts to the point where many things that should be on the forefront of your thinking are not (work, school, paying bills, sleeping).
Some days you try everything you have in your arsenal, and have no positive results.
It can effect your mood if things aren't going well, or are.
No matter what happens it always seems to keep you coming back for more. Apparently the positive things outweigh the negative things.
Hope things are good in everyone's life.
I am going back to try to send it tomorrow...fingers crossed.
