Conquering the rock

That's me up there, climbing out of a cave...This photo was taken last summer at the Warsaw Caves in Peterborough, Ontario I remember being so excited when our family decided to make this a daytrip, I couldn't sleep the night before. "why?" you ask...Well at the time as silly as it sounds it just seemed like a very primal thing to do. I had never climbed in my life, was always too scared and lacked the confindence to try new things, NOT this time! And it was SO much fun!

Since then my husband and I have been indoor climbing at a local climbing gym and we are getting stronger and having fun together.
As much fun as that is though, there came a time a few weeks back where we started talking about taking our climbing back outdoors...
This summer we are looking to climb at Bon Echo Provincial park. A huge step for us but a challenge we are looking forward to doing together.

Climbing and slithering through dark, wet crevices and caves feels so primal...raw, exhilerating! you feel like you are the only human alive out there on that rock...oh and it's dangerous which of course adds to the excitement and makes your heart beat like a drum at a rock concert.

I am so proud of myself for getting over my fears and so thankful for this year old lifestyle which has made me braver, stronger and more confident than I have ever been in my entire life. Thank you Paleo!
Can't wait to see what I'll try next!

What new thing would you like to try?

Be well!
