we are different
sometimes, you just happen to be at the right place with the right person.
but at the wrong time.
as i climb more, the more i learn about this world and how life works.
using brute force may get you somewhere, but it's unsightly, and it draws criticism from everyone. doing the right thing at the right time is what's important.that's where technique comes in.a simple movement can relieve you of pain and suffering.that's where footwork comes in.there is no point holding on to something so tightly that it stifles nothing but you.that's where tile-holding comes in.never give up until you know what you are intending to do next is gonna hurt you or someone else.that's where determination and willpower comes in, along with a dose of sensibility.
a wall with many colourful tiles.which one to hold,which one to step on? which tiles will you choose for your route to your end-tile? an easy unchallenging one or a killer which will bring you satisfaction and pride upon completion? your choice. your approach.
i want to climb better. i want to win. but i also want to find peace in climbing. this is where balance comes in.
when will i find the perfect route?
maybe never, but i'll wait and see.

I haven't been bouldering for god-knows-how-long already, but for big wall, there are colour routes. All routes lead to the top panel, but some routes are easier than others, some are all jugs, some are all crimpers. Some tiles are just there to confuse you. It depends on what is our target. Some just want to reach the top, some want to feel a sense of accomplishment, some just want to clear a particular route.
One climber from my gang said something like this: he climbs for fun, but in order to climb for fun he has to train to climb better. But in the process of training to climb it may not be fun.
Personally I can find serenity when there's no competition. Surely you feel the same when you bake, no?
