thelawgoddess Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 sometimes you just need a time-out ... you get stuck in a rut and it becomes less enjoyable. there have been days where i've been sick of skiing - and i love skiing more than just about anything else in the world. life is cyclical so don't fret! find a new climb you wouldn't normally do, go climbing with someone who inspires you or pushes you more than you normally push yourself, take some time off until you miss it, try a new sport for awhile ... lots and lots of options. mix it up, don't be so hard on yourself, and enjoy life!

cj001f Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 start hanging out at the mall and watching tv. or ask your co-workers what they did over the weekend - and contemplate doing that for the rest of your life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Any ideas on why this may be? Did you take up sailing? This has been know to drastically reduce climbing enjoyment at times. Otherwise, did you meet a SO recently? If so, more important things in life might be on your mind. Otherwise, no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexual_chocolate Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 what's a so? well certainly part of it's been tendinitis in my elbow. I think that's been the main thing actually, but today went and soloed great northern slab (as the rains came, yikes!), and generally had a really fun time. elbow's feeling better too. Thanks for the feedback, peeps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billcoe Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 A day at Smith can make you feel like that as you wander around, seeing millions of people on all the routes you can and want to do, and nobody on the routes you know to stay the hell off of. But hey, you think you have problems? Hell, my arm was cramping on a 5.7 yesterday. Hell, it was bolted. I should have untied and jumped I was sosoooooo embarrased! I've been fat for awhile, but now I'm definatly getting old, and feel it. Fat and old. Hope you resolve it, don't think there's help for me.

griz Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Good thread, SC. Don't know how old you are but I can say that climbing has evloved for me over 15 years from the intense,training,pissed rock climber w/ fucked up joints(sounds like you now) to the happy, "could give a fuck" climber I am now. I climb seriously allot less but the challenges are cool and interesting each time and tend to be more in the mountaineering realm these days. It's a great excuse to travel to other countries, see views that few have seen and hang/climb with great friends... beyond that I don't care. Too much ambition just leads to ... so try climbing a bit less and focus on the or when you go. Get some cool new hobbies to fill in the gaps. I found that passion again in other things again like fly fishing and rafting. Finally, just accept that there are climbers in this world who are born w/ more gifts than you will ever get through relentless training and work so just relax and enjoy...
