Climbing requires control, strength, attention to detail, endurance, body tension, and some nerve to lead. I’ve never considered myself as an overly anxious person, but there’s not anything that settles my nerves quite like climbing. Situated above the ground, once I am high above the rest of my group I appreciate my heightened senses by the sound of my breathing amplified off the stone, the direction of my eyes intently searching for irregularities along the surface, and the deliberate use of my tendons and ligaments. I am acutely aware that I should use only enough pressure to maintain my hold to conserve as much energy as will be required to complete the route without a fall. Maybe, for me, climbing is an effective distraction from any internal uneasiness because it requires complete concentration for the present.
Whatever it is, a day on the face of a rock has never failed to help me solve some of life’s problems, push me to dig deep for strength I do have, and to give me a new perspective on my position, all while keeping me humble, but hungry for the next climb to complete.
