Sooooo, exciting GAL activity this weekend: I went to a rock climbing wall on Sunday for some indoor bouldering.
Man, it was scary (I'm frightened of heights) and I've had little confidence in my physical ability. A lot of what I was dealing with was mental along with the physical challenges.
I was aware of taking it slightly easy, right up to the point where I could feel my heart pounding with the 'fight or flight' thing.
I was a bit zoned out afterwards and I felt absolutely exhausted mentally...the other side of the 'fight or flight' adrenaline rush. But I feel happy that I did it, and made a start. I know it's going to help me with my hill climbing/mountain walking...make me feel more confident.
Would I go back and so some more? Maybe stretch myself a little further? Yes, absolutely.
