I happened to be having dinner with
the family downtown and realized I hadn’t been back to the gym since my accident. So I ran in to say hi.
I was greeted by such warm and
amazing people. Friends who wanted to know how I’ve been and how I was healing.
I love promoting the Source Climbing Gym, wearing their gear, getting people interested and in their door.
They really are friendly and they care for their climbers. Personally, it felt
like home. Or a home I haven’t seen lately.
Between catching up, I perused the
routes. Felt chalky holds. Mentally read routes and mimed my way through it
from the ground.
I just started physical therapy, so
it will still be a while before I’m on the wall. But I think sport climbing
will be good to get me back into it. Or at least more gentle than bouldering
would be.
So until then, I’ll be patient. My
new shoes will collect a bit more dust and I’ll keep thinking about getting
that green light.
If you haven’t checked out the
Source Climbing Center, you should. They offer a lot of classes to teach you
how to use the climbing equipment safely and their staff are top of the line
and some of the most amazing people I know.
