Pictured: sending. Not pictured: the teary wobbler I had 30min before, after falling off the very end three times ?

Thank you to everyone who sent me kind messages and comments about my previous post. I’m not a super emotional person ??‍♀️ and to be honest there was nothing about this particular climb that warranted such strong reactions… I realized it was not about the climb. It was simply a reflection of pent-up feelings unrelated to climbing.
.
I grew up being told that crying is okay, that it’s a healthy physical and emotional release. I strongly believe this, and am not embarrassed by it. However, I do have a habit of bottling things up… running away until I don’t even realize they’ve caught up to me. Falling at the end of a climb was simply the catalyst for buried emotions that needed to come out ? In Upper Chaos, middle of the night, with no one but @james_lucas with me, I cried. Like… really, really cried for a solid 15 minutes.
.
“Climbing is hard,” @james_lucas said, trying to comfort me. I shook my head. “It’s not about the climb,” I whispered. After another 15 minutes of rest, I sent Eternia (V11) without a care in the world. I didn’t feel happy, I didn’t feel sad. I didn’t feel anything. What an odd feeling at all, to feel nothing. In the end, it was exactly what I needed.
.
Dealing with emotions can be difficult and scary, but trust me… they will catch you one way or another. Face them, own them, and move on. It ends up feeling pretty good ? #climbing #bouldering #RMNP
