For the past couple of months Andy has stated that they are done with climbing for a while. So I thought that this was the last climb in a while but once the class was over and once I had posted this photo stating that they were done climbing Andy told me that they wanted to continue. So, I signed Andy up for the Winter session for teens.
Today I was numb. I was so hopeful yesterday and today, just numb. I’m so disappointed in this country. It is going to take a while to process what happened.
Andy has been going to Rock Spot and rock climbing for about 2 years now. I’ve gone with them almost every time to drop them off and pick them up. Well, there was a deal for 10 sessions this Summer and id decided to buy it so that I was forced to try climbing. The weird thing is that I never used to be afraid of heights as a kid but as I got older it creeped into my mind. I mean, I used to run around on roofs helping my dad with shingling the roofs and stuff. So there was a time when I was not scared.
So, I faced my fears and gave climbing a go. I found that it was a lot harder than I had expected. Not so much the heights but the actual climbing. I am going to have to build up my strength to do this. I didn’t even get all the way to the top of any of the climbs today. But I have several more trips to make and continue to try to get to the top.
Apparently my two days of walking was too much for my feet because I got a huge blister on my left foot. It probably popped while I was climbing. So, a few days of taking it easy before I get back out on the road again.
