Rock Climbing
is certainly about skills. Balance, strength and power,
flexibility of movement and endurance is what it takes to make you climb
those sheer faces, and challenge yourself constantly to seek new faces to
climb. Although every individual has physical limits, very few of us are
close to reaching those potentials.
Importantly,
climbing is not just about physical skills, which can be developed. It is
also about attitude and about overcoming fears by realising them. Climbing
forces you to confront your fears and then push your limits by
understanding them, to go beyond limitations, which to a large extent you
have set yourself. It teaches you to think laterally while attempting to
solve a seemingly insurmountable problem. It forces you not to give up. It
involves a total commitment and a level of self-motivation that becomes a
part of your psyche. It teaches you to plan ahead and yet remain flexible
to innovate as you go along. It trains you to have nerves of steel, to
remain calm and focused in the most exacting circumstances.

Rock climbing
has very little to do with actual ascent - more often than not, there are
easier ways of reaching there than climbing that impossible face that
stares at you and compels you to climb. Climbing is for those of us who
want to grow and who believe that every moment of life can be a growth
experience, to reach higher.
It is for
those who set themselves goals so they can constantly move their goals
further. It is for those who seek to clap for themselves, who experience
the surge of joy that comes from achievements which have little to do with
success. It is for those who are in touch with their physical selves
enough to strive for peak performance by a perfect harmony of body and
mind.
Very soon we shall be devising a tour for rock climbing afficianados.
