Challenging myself… Wall Climbing

Standard

So today I went with a few co-workers/friends to The Edge Halfmoon which is a wall climbing and adventure business. I have been wanting to do wall climbing ever since my high school built a wall in the gym. By that time I was working there and did not want to make a fool of myself in front of the students. Oh, and heights and me do not always get along.

A few weeks ago my boss told me about the outing and I asked if I could join, which I think shocked her. I like to say that I am a hobbit. Once the nice weather hits I am usually outside in my garden, bare foot and enjoying the sunshine. I am also a very short person who enjoys tea and eating lol though I will say that I do not have ” What about elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper?” Hobbits like to stay close to the ground we do not normally climb.

But today this hobbit climbed a wall. I wanted to get to the top but I was unable to because I was so nervous that my hands were sweating. I was about a foot from the top and I so wanted to get to the top but I was so proud of myself from where I got and I did it twice. I had to do the easy wall because some of the other walls I just couldn’t do.

Everyone usually has a list of things they would like to do in their lives. This was one of them for me and I am really happy and proud of myself that I did it.
