Update

It has been a while since I last posted, so I figure it is time to update on my life.  First and foremost, I climbed the Grand Teton! We did the Upper Exum Route, and it was probably the most difficult thing i've ever done in my life.  I also went down to the Pocatello Pump and got first in the Women's 5.11a-5.11d category!  And next weekend is the International Climbing Festival, so I am pretty stoked for that.

Other then that, school just started, and I'm taking 17 credits. Plus teaching preschool. Plus coaching. So I am a little overcommitted. But that is fine!  That's all right now.

"...perfect love casteth out all fear."

Fear

Fear is defined as is an emotion induced by a perceived threat which causes entities to quickly pull far away from it and usually hide.  I think that I am scared of a lot of things, emotionally and physically.  But especially emotionally.  And when the going gets tough, instead of facing things head on, I have realized that I just shut things (and people) out.  And then by the time I realize I've done this, it's too late.  The damage is done, and then I must figure out a way to move forward with everything.  

Here's a couple of Tumblr pictures that I liked relating to fear  

Tick List

So yesterday I sent my project Naiad, and was so stoked! Though the grade has not been determined, I think this is the hardest climb i've done to date, and was ecstatic that I sent it!  A week before I sent a climb called Probiscus, that was still pretty hard but not quite as hard.  I am going to start a Tick List of all the 5.11 and 5.12 climbs I have sent on here, just so that I can look back one day and see how far I have progressed!
