Damnable Rocks

I guess in line with my declining video gaming skillz, I have to contend with my never-quite there rock climbing skills. It's fun (except for the looking down and dropping), but for me it's fairly frustrating. I can see in my mind how to do it, but my body just won't quite do the things my mind deems necessary. Right now, I can barely type correctly; it's a struggle to get my fingers into the right places.

Right now, I'm too stubborn to give up. I'm going to learn how to do this to some greater-than-current level of proficiency. I'm never going to get over the fear of heights, but it's not debilitating. At the same time, I need to build up more strength/lose some weight so I can support myself on these crags. If nothing else, it's something drastically different from everything else I'm doing in my life.

There could be a third paragraph, but I want to rest my forearms.
