Defy Gravity

The gravity project, that’s what climbing is, the constant fight against gravity. Yet again another sport that draws my attention not just for the big money shots but all the intricate details that make up climbing.

The car camping at the crag the night before, the scenic routes against the rock walls of canyon walls in the distance, the endless routes just at this one location. One rock face. The jitters of the first flash of the day or perhaps coming back for a route that’s been a project all season hoping to finally send.

The post success debrief with belay partners, the instant replay of the cruz fresh in the brain, or perhaps the opposite and its actually pondering what move one did wrong that caused a fall.

The chase of commentary and post climb laughs, a day well spent hanging on rocks.
