Upon knowing that this challenge is before me I have been trying to mentally prepare myself for this date; february 20th, 2012. This is the day we will be climbing the rock wall. I have never as far as looked at one let alone attempt to beat it (make it to the top.) Since i have let my pride get the best of me, by already telling myself and other people i.e. classmates, that the wall was going down, I figure i have to go a few steps beyond just mental preparation.
Steps for myself to conquer the wall... so far
1. mental preparedness - check
2. research - check
3.physical preparedness - in progress
Some of the tips i have learned from http://www.buzzle.com/articles/indoor-rock-climbing-tips.html are as follows..
- stretch
- map out your route
- take breaks
- watch other people climb
- use your legs
Have Fun out there!
