I get anxious about whether I'm improving enough, or at all. (Especially since a few friends that I introduced to climbing in turn are now cheerfully doing stuff a grade up from me.) But...ultimately, it's not a competition; I'm doing it because I enjoy it. And when I start getting the queasy feeling about having somehow failed to meet expectations again, I try to remember that.
It's amazing how much damage school sports classes can do to a child's actual desire to do anything physical, isn't it?
