It's a strange thing that aspirations are made of. But one shared by many is that fleeting glimpse of creativity and beauty of climbing well.
Almost by surprise on Tuesday, feeling sluggish after a day at the computer, I pulled off a 6c and several 6bs on the climbing wall. Having spent some weeks hovering at the 6a+ mark, I hardly expected this to happen in such dramatic style...but there we are. The sense of achievement is huge, even though these climbs were done on a top rope. Even knowing it is physically achievable is somehow like punching through a glass ceiling that one day, perhaps, the mental side will also pass through.
