Climbing with caterpillars
Once in a while my dreams include climbing... They are so vivid as I can feel the rock, the breeze, the thrill, I have no fear at all and sometimes they become much cooler as I fly to get back to the ground -wow! I had this dream last night so I decided to take a day off and go to the mountains.
Due to my hectic program it has been a while since the last time and I needed a break so badly! I was super excited and I decided to follow my fellow climbers to Acharnes.
To my big surprise, we were not the only ones who decided to go climbing yesterday. Many, many, MANY caterpillars had the same idea. My first thought was "Screw you guys I'm going home". But I could not give up that easily and some caterpillars would not stop me. So I decided to choose top rope over lead. Much safer, less exciting but hey, I'm allergic to those nasty green bastards and I couldn't risk "petting" them while climbing.
So apparently it was not the day to do crazy stuff and challenge my limits, all I wanted was to enjoy it. And I did. I felt reborn. I left all my worries behind. Whenever I climb I feel that I'm getting closer to the meaning of life. I become happy. Truly happy. It is so relieving to know that every problem vanishes away so easily that way, to have a hobby as your prozac.
Χαχαχχαχααααα.. είχες πού είχες το βάσανο να ανέβεις είχες και τις κάμπιες..
Ειμαι φοβερή η αίσθηση οταν ανεβαίνεις ψιλά..😀😀😀
Μα πραγματικά! Ένας χαμός, ήταν παντού!!!
Η αίσθηση είναι απλά απερίγραπτη.. :)
Just reading your post put a smile on my face & filled me with joy. Good for you for doing the climb- I envy you for taking the challenge and celebrate your enjoyment. Keep posting!
Oh thank you @agaph :) This is my anti stress activity actually :)

I know the feeling of having every trouble, every pain, everything that is going on in your life good or bad just vanish because of your hobby, i have that feeling in the gym, especially when i get my headphones on, i just go at it at 150% i don't care for anything else, i don't care if the world is ending, at that moment the only thing that exist is me and the gym.
Never tried rock climbing but i'm not a big fan of heights, not afraid of them, but also not a big fan :P The only climbing i do is doing pullups xD
You are lucky as well for being able to love something so much that makes you leave everything behind.. To dedicate some time for yourself and actually enjoy what you're doing :)
If you don't like heights then there is no need to try it :P everyone likes different things.. (I suck at pullups :P)
I sucked too, now i love doing them, i even pull my self up slowly and move my legs to make it look like i'm walking on some stairs :P
Aww I've seen that in some youtube videos and it's really impressive!! Frank Medrano does amazing things!
badass :P
lol :P
