Today I spent an hour dragging my tubby frame up a climbing wall repeatedly — something I haven't done in literally years. I had forgotten several things about climbing:
- It bloody hurts
- It's bloody terrifying
- Fit, talented people are annoying
- The routes marked "easy" aren't
- You always end up pulling muscles that you previously had not even suspected the existence of
- "Climbing wall vs. skin" is a rather one-sided match
- Your fingers don't work for the rest of the evening
- In general, "ow"
Can't wait to go again next week!

With you on the fit talented people. I am not a natural climber, nor do I have the natural build for climbing, however I persevere - competing against yourself is half the fun after all.
