Don’t admire these photos.
Admire these stories.
When you’re progressing at Climbing, one thing you need is nudges and opportunities to push yourself gently towards the next level.
In the one photo, a 71yro newbie climber is leading a 15metre overhang – something that would have been impossible to imagine 5 years ago.
In another, a newbie to roped climbing has heard that we believe they can climb to the top of the main wall on second… They got to the top.
In the final one, a climber who is not keen on heights is getting up the wall and without needing to push the grade is pushing outside the comfort zone.
I feel so grateful that the Climbing Clan has been able to help pass on these experiences to people – just as they were passed on to me.
