After taking almost all of January off, hubby and I went climbing again today. The rock we usually climb on has three faces (at least if you don’t want to be near anyone, which we don’t). One face is super easy, and we did it many times last year, the other one is our most recent route that we’ve done 3-4 times and the third we’d never done before today.
When we got there, others were already doing the route we usually do, so we got adventurous and did the third face we’d never done. This required taking our shoes off and crossing a small river. Very cold water.
It also required just going for it and seeing what we could do since we had no idea what the rating was and if we would be able to climb it.
But we did. Several times.
It was hard, refreshing, invigorating. On the way home, we got to see an incredible sunset and I was feeling a deep sense of contentment and joy.
Fresh air, new adventures, exercise, and time with my husband. A perfect afternoon.
Yes to adventures. Yes to trying new things and taking chances. Yes to time together. Yes to nature.
