Well, awesome piece Pete - I'm proud of you
You're right. I don't really know why I climb. I'm not a big fan of heights, and I can't stand exposure! I guess I like the feeling of pushing my limits, and achieving something that yesterday I'd have sworn blind I had no chance of being able to do. And I guess being so potentially close to death really makes you feel alive!!!
And the scenery! I was climbing in the Blue Mountains (NSW, OZ) a few weeks back. My pics are up here www.spaces.msn.com/members/ragdoll42 . Cant think of a better way to experience that landscape
