my first attempt at rockclimbing, on rai leh beach (near krabi), thailand. i knew that rockclimbers were insanely fit and strongwilled people, but i had no real clue until i tried it myself. it is exhausting. it is exhilarating. i love the feeling of being like, can i get up there? i'm not sure. and then just trying it. and, incredibly, making it. and then doing it again. the human body has so much more to give than we usually give it credit for ... and not just the bodies of overpaid superstar sports freaks, either. regular human bodies, like, for example, mine, are fully capable of awesome stuff.
