The physical benefits will become visible for anyone who takes time to climb regularly. 💪🏻 I admit fully that I enjoy the compliments resulting from how climbing affects my body, but there is so much more to it than that. 😆 The mental benefits are less obvious, but arguably just as important. 💜 I have always been a goal oriented person needing something to focus my energy on, to strive towards. Aside from providing an outlet to physically challenge myself, climbing also pushes my intellect through problem solving, healthy fear, focus, and attention to detail. When climbing outside my mood is boosted by spectacular settings with the rewards of breathtaking views and an energized spirit. Rocks can’t be paid off and they don’t show personal bias. The rock doesn’t alter the route for me because I’m shorter or smaller than average, or because I politely ask it or forcefully demand it to change. 😆 The rock just is what it is … and those are just a few of the draws for why I have never been able to control my desire and drive to be a rock climber.
