Climbing the Side of a Drawbridge?!?!
Today was a day like no other. I finally got to climb the side of a bridge I'd been eyeing for weeks. I wasn't sure I could do it because the holds were too small for feet, but I put on my climbing shoes and tried anyways, and I did it! I actually did it. I had to try different locations because some holds were too difficult to get my hands in. I found a way to the top, but not really! I didn't get over the bridge edge, I just reached a point near it. I think there could be a solution that takes me to the top of the bridge. I'd have to go back and try. There was a tricky section when I was descending, and I had to adjust my feet and move quickly to avoid falling on that area. My heart was racing and I felt like I was balancing on a rope. My mind was simultaneously full of energy and calm focus. I feel much more capable of climbing than ever before, but I also know that I could've been seriously injured. Anyways, it was amazing. I did take a risk.. I guess I couldn't just let it go.. I needed to keep trying, and I'm glad I did.
