Rock Climber's Barefoot Ascent

“The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself.” ― C. JoyBell C. Channeling this “strong moment” to help me get through feeling weak and ill right now. Have been the sickest I’ve been in the last several years, in the last couple months since mask mandates were lifted and I’ve been back in the city. Hopefully this means my immune system is growing and I’ll have a healthy rest of the year ahead and get back to getting stronger 😷🤧🤒 hoping to “send it” anywhere other than bed soon To answer “why I was barefooted” - there was a chest deep pool of frozen water at the bottom of this rappel I was trying to avoid getting my shoes wet in. Barefoot in the canyons has a much more appealing sound to me than barefoot in the kitchen.
