1st V4 // theedgerockgymfl // Things climbing has taught me so far: 1️⃣ You can solve a problem by getting the gist of it and muscling your way to a solution, or you can take the time to learn from those around you, take in a variety of solutions, find your weaknesses, strengthen them and be prepared to solve many problems. 2️⃣ There are many reasons people stare at you and they’re not all out of judgement. Sometimes those reasons are curiosity, the desire to help or in attempt to learn. This was a hard one for me to get used to. 3️⃣ That advice about competing with yourself and not other people is real. The fastest way to make yourself feel terrible is to compare yourself, unrealistically, to another person. Be inspired, not belittled, by those who are where you want to be. More often than not, those people are willing to help you join them if you’re willing to learn. 4️⃣ The stability you can get from a good toe hold defies physics. #climbing #rockclimbing #climbinggirls #climbinggy...
