47 degrees

There's a new addition to the bouldering room at Ratho.

It's red.

It's steep. 47 degrees, in fact.

And it's fun! Look at the ball we had this afternoon!

Some people think that difficulty is to be avoided. I can see why. But I rather like this quote, found by a climber friend of mine from Iran:


Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life, not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

~Kahlil Gibran
