What a cool video, thanks for linking. I'm having to take a short break from climbing right now because of a shoulder injury, sight. On the plus side, the rest is helping and I'll probably be ready for some gentle toproping in a couple days.
I'm getting increasingly frustrated that I discovered this sport 20 years too late. I want to go back in time and give younger me a little push in the right direction. At 20, I could've climbed as hard as I liked and as much as I liked. And I think I could've been really good. I did 20 pullups with my fingertips hanging from the bottom of our stairs every day, just for fun. And it wasn't even hard. I can't believe I wasted all this potential. Okay, this tipped over into non-glee. After all, better discovering a good thing late than never...
