Why I love climbing

Just spamming .

Enjoy

Today's post will just be the reasons why I love climbing so much.

And I will be sharing some pictures with everyone.

:)

Climbing is just mind blowing.

I really don't know which part of climbing to start with.

Let's start with a picture. 

This is Chris Sharma, it's almost all the climbers idol.

This can be seen when all the climbers start to shout like him.

Whenever we push and commit ourselves, we will "SAHHHHH!"

And that is what Chris Sharma always do.

The SAHHH for all climbers is like a power boost.

It's like we can't climb without it.

That's why if you walk into a climbing gym, you will always hear all the AHHHH or the SAHHHH or the FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU when someone falls down.

How do I put this.

The climbing community is small.

The most famous climbing video on youtube don't even have 50k views.

Like 20+ k views only.

I was telling Yong Sheng the other day.

Just take this train for example, how many people in the train are climbers?

Probably only the two of us.

That's 2 out of a thousand?

It's really very small.

I met a new friend named Tony today.

He's an intermediate climber.

I asked him "Who you come with today?"

"Oh, I come alone. Hahaha. Just to see whether there are familiar faces."

It's really very easy to talk to someone with the same passion.

It's like no matter what the character of the person is, as long as he got passion for climbing, he has respect from all the other climbers.

Let's take for example, Teng Wei.

Everybody thinks he sucks at climbing.

Everybody laughs at him when he say he's going to be the best climber in the CCA.

But nobody knew that he really worked that hard and he was indeed the best climber in MJ during Gravical.

This is Gravical 2012.

I was ranked 82 / 160+ people.

It was not really that impressive though.

Hahahaha.

I still suck.

I told myself I would finish 2 routes in the next coming competition.

That's what is pushing me to keep training and training.

Nothing can stop me from training.

No amount of workload can stop me from climbing.

No one can stop me from climbing.

There's just a very strong desire in my heart to climb.

Almost every 1 hour, I would think of climbing at least once.

And it happens everyday.

Hahahaha.

Climber's hand are all very itchy.

If you observe me in school or anywhere, I will always pinch or crimp stuffs.

Just to feel how they feel on my hands.

Let's talk about during climbing.

Climbing, I must say it's not easy.

For me, what I like most about climbing is doing very difficult moves and overcoming it to reach the top.

The feeling of trying and trying and SAHHHH-ing and SAHHH-ing until I touch the next hold is a satisfaction for me.

The satisfaction is really unique.

How do I explain this feeling.

It's like you have a very tough maths problem that you don't understand in your head.

Then you spend like an hour or more to think about it.

You think and think and twist your mind and continue thinking until you GET IT.

That's almost the same feeling.

And the best thing about this "maths problem" is, you are not alone.

All my friends will be doing the same problem as me.

And everyone understands how the person climbing feels.

And then it comes the allez, allez which means "Jia you" in france.

There's really a lot more to climbing.

No matter how much I try to explain how much I love climbing, people won't understand.

And people would probably think we are mad people who waste our time away.

But seriously, you people are those that are wasting your time away :)

Climb, climb, climb.

Allez, allez, allez!

SAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
