CragBaby: Moving On

    "there are so many strong climbers ... resulting in me really starting to wonder if I was truly a “climber” since I am unable to climb 5.13"

    I feel the same way here in Boulder most of the time!

    Tom,
    Ha, really? Geez, it is completely intimidating, eh?
    Hope you are well.

    In my humble opinion, anytime you put numbers on a pedestal, climbing ceases to be fun (I know, I know, we ALL do this!!). Remember how fun it was when you started climbing? You had no idea about grades, you just knew you loved this movement, and what it did for your spirit, mind, and body. Let go of pressure and just love the freedom you feel and the fact that when you are climbing, you let go of just about every other thought occupying your mind. Remember the great words of that one guy (lol, I can't remember who actually said it)...the best climber is the one having the MOST fun!!
