yea, i bet u are! i think that if you really wanted to do it then you could, all you have to do is be positive - not negative like you are being! if you never have a go at it then you will never know. i think that i could do it in two or three years, maybe i couldnt but i might be able to. i mean i can do a 22 in just over 6 months of climbing - who says i cant do punks in a few years. i reakon you could do it. michael shows alot of things to do with a mental and emotional state of mind. i remember earlier this year doing the worst training, we were in the boulder caves and we had to do laps around... we wernt allowed to give up until basically our body did, so in otherwords you may think in your mind that this is as far as i can go, it hurts too much etc. but really you can push yourself a bit further until every bit of strenght is pushed out! i was sore for about a week afterwards, i nearly collapsed whilst doing it! i think that i did the most in our group, about 21 laps and then that was it for my body - it taught me a lesson. he gives us talks that really make us think and i think that those talks have made us better climbers aswell! anyway enuf chat, i have to get to work now! cya guyz, nice talkin, i will maybe talk later!
