Climbing To The Top

I was walking in Kaplan Woods one Saturday afternoon and noticed this really big rock and thought to myself, how many people thought about climbing that rock? Then that made me think of rock climbing. Have you ever tried rock climbing? I tried it once at the Steele County Free Fair a couple of years ago. I just did the amateur side. I think there were three of four levels of climbing difficulties. I had fun.

I don't know if I could do the real rock climbing, but keeping it indoors, safely harnessed with someone watching my back would probably be okay.

Now I'm afraid of heights, and when I think about something that might have to do with heights, like right now, my palms and the bottom of my feet tingle. Not a lot, and actually it has gotten better, sort of, maybe.

Climbing a ladder is not much better. But that is also one those times that I like to challenge myself. Try something new, something that might be a little nerve-wracking. Not like trying to find an egg in a picture.
