I have rock climbed from 13 years old to 30. I stopped when I started getting sick. I use a cane, can barely walk most days. But once in awhile, I don't know if it's a good day or the pain meds but I can push a little harder. I always end up paying for extra activity the following 3 days but sometimes you just gotta live life, the fun way!
When I have one of those days do you guys think it would be foolish of me to get on the rocks again starting with the shortest easiest climbs? This would be bouldering of course, no ropes, a foot or two off the ground, with a spotter, and you climb around the rock rather than up the rock. I would never climb up anymore, if I fell and the shock to my body being caught by the rope would kill me.
I just feel like if I try people will be like, look she's faking!! Or if she can do that she doesn't need help shopping anymore.
I just want to feel what it was like to be the old me again, even if it hurts.
Does anyone understand what I'm feeling?
