Fatboy;
I too am in a very similar situation to yourself.
5 years ago i climbed minimum of 3 times per week, all on rock.
5 years ago i could climb 27
5 years ago i was more interested in a "route" than a "root".
5 years ago i had immense freedom, no bills and no worries
5 years ago there was me, myself and i.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These days i climb once a week on rock if the gods are smiling
These days i climb 25ish (on a good good day)
These days i think more about roots than routes
These days i have no freedom, too many bills and 1001 worries
These days i have me, my partner and my daughter
.......................................................
And i wouldnt change the above for a second,
I had huge amounts of fun climbing all the time
Today i have huge amounts of fun with my family,
These days in a way i enjoy my climbing more and
see my time on rock as special, not just another day's climbing.
Cheer up Fatboy,
life rocks and if it doesnt, climb one :) |
