How the hell do I get climbing to actually 'click' for me, guys?
Im taking a class and today was day 3. Maybe these are unrealistic expectations to be seeing results by now, but Im one of the worse climbers in my group so far. I know part of it is that Im having a hard time putting faith in my equipment (Im not actually scared climbing, but leaning back on an anchor on an edge I sure as fuck am), but the actual moves are frustrating, too.
Im starting to build up this classic recurring fear that has plagued me my whole life. The fear of not being able to do this and not just failing once, but actually being a failure.
But under that is an even deeper fear, that Ill walk away from this without making any friends to go do it with, regardless. I mean, who wants to climb with the guy who sucks at it?
I havent cried in a while but this is sure doing it for me tonight.
