Rock Climbing

I’ll never forget that moment I crossed my arms and didn’t recognize myself. I had been climbing for a couple of weeks and I was swollen and hard. I actually said these words out loud. “Who’s this?” As I felt and admired my new arms. That’s when it clicked that climbing was here to stay.

Climbing has completely transformed my body. I use to be soft and lean. Now my muscles are rock hard and prominent. It’s empowering to feel my strength and the improvement in my confidence. There’s definitely more pep in my step. 😁

I love how challenging it is, and the sense of accomplishment when I make it to the top of that wall. What we call in the rock climbing community; A send. It’s when you touch the top of the rock with both hands.

It’s both humbling and addicting when your body fatigues and you have to stop. You want to keep pushing yourself but your body just gives out at every attempt.

It’s been really therapeutic for me. Kind of feels like dancing, since it’s all about those hips. 💃

You have to think though your movements, be patient, and it’s easy to slip up. And falling is fun!

I hope this inspires you to try climbing. Let me know in the comments if you do. 😊 And if you’re a climber, I’d like to know how it impacts your life.
