Vantage – Rock Climb Trip
This was my first rock climbing experience with the Mountaineers. I absolutely loved it because I faced my fears of heights!
What I loved the most is that:
- Everyone was super helpful and understanding that my level was not as high as theirs and they were ready to help and give me tips
- The rock was not as high, so we didn’t have to do multiple pitches. I’m not ready for that for sure!
- I felt safe to try to do crazy moves (for me). I even jumped from one crack to another pretty high up as I was encouraged by a few mates from below! That just opened up my appetite to try more! I was pretty proud of my fears conquering!
Learnings and Highlights:
I guess the biggest learning was coming from a girl in the group, Mary. She is amazing! She was not afraid of trying anything new and fight for reaching to the top! This is so great to see and it helps you in life as well! She was relentlessly trying to reach to the top without being bother by the defeat of falling or not succeeding from the first try! This is amazing! She inspired me to do the same and I saw the same results (to my level of comfort)!
