Climbing Again

Sore fingers, lack of energy are just a couple of signs that your workout has been too intense for too long. Yes, I had to take time off from climbing. The first two weeks were like torture. Okay, maybe not torture but those first weeks weren't fun. I climb three days a week without climbing I suddenly felt lost. Usually I take my month off while I travel somewhere so the absence of the workout is not so noticeable. My climbing partner exercised incredible willpower and didn't climb even though he works at the gym. Of course, it's November which means rain in Vancouver and rain means no outdoor climbing, which does make the absence thing easier. But at last, the month is over. First day back I could only climb for two hours. I must have been crazy when I bought those shoes! In the photo you can see my climbing partner sitting a little higher on the rock face than I am. He has just finished a climb and is resting while I switch to my climbing shoes. The photo was taken in Vantage by a friend and I love how she framed the shot. We are actually at the bottom of a 'hanging valley' but she framed out the valley floor, creating the illusion that we are halfway up a mountainside.

    I have no idea how to write blogs so I just write about wacky thoughts that run through my mind and leave a bit of a residue behind.
