My luck has been pretty terrible lately when it comes to kayaking. Two
weeks ago I had had definite plans to head back to the Ocoee one last time for
the year, but ended up spraining my ankle while bouldering at Inner Peaks in
Charlotte. When I tried to get down inside my boat to see if the trip was going to still go, I realized almost immediately that I was going to have to postpone traveling to that river again.
A few months ago I would have told you that I didn’t particularly enjoy
bouldering and that I would much rather rope climb if I had the option. Over
the summer I wasn’t really given the option and was pretty much forced to stick
to bouldering. It’s amazing how much I think its opened my enjoyment of
climbing up for me. There is a social component to bouldering that is really
enjoyable to participate it. I also have definitely noticed improvement on my
part.
Though I have noticed that it is sometimes hard for me to balance my time climbing. I sometimes decide to warm-up with an easy boulder or two and find myself there for an hour or more. On top of that, I realized after coming back to UNCG, the new climbing wall is its own beast. It may not be the steepest wall around, but it is definitely tall. It has been a good chance for me to work on my endurance. Looking forward to having Adam come visit one weekend to check it out!
Unfortunately I am still trying to recover from my ankle injury and there are days when it hurts way worse than others. Hopefully a few days of rest will do it some good.
