After a day's climb.Second go-round... Back on Kalymnos.
Two weeks of climbing, three rest days, swollen fingers, fire in my muscles, and David Sharpe!
Beautiful People My new friend Shay Har-noy lives in America, but we ended up crossing paths in Israel. I was telling him how one of the things I love about climbing is all the hot men with their tops off. He exclaimed, "I know! You would think other women would have caught on by now! Even men who are in their forties with kids will still have six-packs."
Dave Sharpe drew my attention to the obvious. Women who climb are in good shape, and he is happy to watch them, as I love to admire the men.
Step Up As I have previously mentioned, lessons learned in climbing will translate into real life. Sometimes ther is no way to balance beautifully on a move, or there is no way to reach up to the next hand-hold. A lot of times you have to simply
step up even though it doesn't seem natural since you have no place to put your hands. But magically, it works. IT WORKS! If you hadn't stepped up, you would have been stuck.
Ask yourself where in your life you are in limbo, or where you feel "stuck" and just STEP UP!

Love the philosophy...
...that you have taken from climbing into life. I always thought the same thing from climbing! Looks like you're having a great time sweetheart! :)
