Climbing and bouldering are everything in my life! They empty my brain, they make me feel alive and in a way they recharge my optimism.
I love heights, nature and the puzzling challenges these sports offer. I'm not so fond of team sports anyway, so climbing gives me the opportunity to be just me and myself - to be exact, as I don't do free solos, me, myself and my rope-companion.
What I love the most about it, is the sense of freedom, the fulfilling emotion when you are up high and you have made it, the amazing view, the cool breeze and the silence of the summit. The idea of being able to reach higher and higher. To achieve new goals and do things that you couldn't even imagine before. You compete only yourself and your own efforts and this works in a meditating way to me.
Indoor climbing is also exciting as you cannot always go outside. This is where I do my practice and learn new techniques to improve my skills.
This sport really uplifts my spirit and my mood in every possible way. Marks on your hands and injuries are a part of the game but they are also a sign that you have given yourself to it and it totally worths it.
