A bit of wisdom from old DoDmister:
>"Climbing to me is art, sport, lifestyle and combat.
>Climbing is all about the efforts and the acheivements of the individual. No committee, >country or chat room gets you to the top of a route.
>It's all about you,
>your freinds,
>and your vision!
>I'm definately not the best climber at the crag but I'm always trying my hardest and through >sheer will and determination, eventually it's possible to achieve the goals that you set >yourself.
>At the end of the day I go climbing in my spare time and on my weekends. Sharing a few >laughs with good freinds, doing what I love is what it's all about for me. I believe there is a >real energy that comes from the rock that is in our earth, that can be transmitted to our >bodies through our hands and our feet when we engage it. If you concerntrate, block out >everything else and focus when you climb you can feel it. To find these routes is what drives >me to climb and When you've got that chemistry.
>only good things can happen."
