At 12 metres up , Im asking myself - why do i do this again?
Ahh yes,.... the spectacular view, the adrenalin rush and a crazy feeling of achievement.
BRING IT ON!
My second experience on real rock at Boronia Point in the Blue Mountains was superb. As always it began with a super early start and a final pit stop at Blackheath for a warm crusty meat pie and a takeaway gourmet sandwich. Then a 15 minute downhill bush trek to the spot with the cool morning breeze in the warm rising sun. Boronia Point is perfect as it has shade in the morning and in the evening and is only 12 metres high (last time i climbed was 18 scary metres!!). Thankfully there were also a wide range of climbs there from a level 14 (absolute wuss) to a level 25 (absolute nuts). I stuck with my 17's :P
At the peak of each climb, I nervously peak over my shoulder at the breathtaking view of down below. Then, I breathe a loud sigh of relief and signal frantically to be let down. The trek back up the mountain to the car is always tougher and i swear i was going to have a coronary (really unfit chick here!!) but we made it safely and thats all that matters :)
As scary as it was, Im keen to keep going with both indoors and the occasional outdoors. I never thought a big lazy ass'd scaredy-cat chick like me would grunt my way up a wall while being wedgied in a harness :P
BRING IT :P
