climbing

so this is my second time climbing with my boss, his fiancee, coworkers, etc. i feel as if climbing is teaching me everything i need to know...

coworker dynamics... you learn a lot about yourself when your peer has a looottt more experience than you and you have to take the back seat as a novice... after 10+ years in the IT field you learn your technical confidence. it's hard to start over. but humbling and worth it...

patience. climbing isn't like running. you have to trust the rope and the person doing belay. you don't just plod through any old way like running. it's deliberate. you have to allow yourself to rest in a position hanging off of a rock. and you have to perservere... period.

it's a serious mental challenge. not to mention stomach marathon.

i just in-haled a bowl of yake udon. inhaled. burp.
