Keep trying
today went climbing at yishun safra. had pw dry run so went a bit later than the rest. reached there to find that theres a 25m and a 18m wall and a bouldering gym! wooooo!for those who did rock-climbing, today i didn't do a normal climb, i climbed a chimney, which looks something like this
learnt quite a few things today
1. Try and keep trying, if you fail, continue trying. You may end up bruised and battered, but you'll find its all worth it when you attain your goal.
wah the chimney climb was like man, damn hard even at the start. and damn painful cause friction is the only thing between you and the wall (barely anywhere to stand!)
got damn a lot of abrasions, but never gave up. even if the numerous wounds on me, i still think its worth it!
2. If you are caught in a tight spot, just squeeze and squirm, you'll get out somehow (literally)
some parts of the wall seriously damn squeezy, like just nice for the width of your body. can't even move around properly, but after damn long of squeezing and wriggling, finally made it out!
3. When you're down and out, your friends are there for you
climbing the wall was really damn tiring, pressing your hands, legs and butt against the wall to stay up there is really crazy. there were many times when i kept wanting to give up, there was even once when i was going to say that i'm falling. but constant encouragement kept me going on. thanks guys, wouldn't have made it without you.
4. Whats holding you up, might be whats impeding your progress too (or vice versa, up to how you look at it lol)
up on the wall, friction is mainly what is keeping you up on the wall, yet it prevents you from sliding your back higher up the wall, which can get really frustrating cause you are just stuck there, unable to progress. so sometimes you should learn to let go so that you can finally move on.
5. Bathing with wounds all over is a painful experience.
one word, f.
6. Santa claus is some rock-climbing pro.
wah i think greatest accomplishment in my rock-climbing life. after a long time of squeezing and squirming and rubbing my ass against the wall, i finally conquered it, all 18m of it! wooooooooo!
time to chiong for pw! whee!
