In reply to Mountain Spirit:
Dear Sawas
Whilst I applaud your enthusiasm (and I am also aware of your Dyspraxia etc) I do think it is time for a reality check.
The chances of you becoming:
a) a climbing guide
b) a route setter
c) a sponsored climber
d) a professional climber
e) a lecturer on the subject
f) a climbing writer - unless in a Pythonesque satirical form
are about as realistic as you becoming the next 'real life' Captain of the Starship Enterprise.
There are hundreds of other people out there, who are light years ahead of you, who cannot make a living out of climbing, and you really need to recognise this.
All the well wishers and 'follow your dreams' folk on UKC, are blowing hot air up your rear end, and are at best patronising, and at worst irresponsible.
Following a dream, has to have at least some outside chance of it happening, and to be blunt, regarding the world of climbing, your dreams are nothing more than that - you haven't actually started climbing on crags yet for goodness sake.
So instead of occupying your time dreaming about things which are never going to happen, put away the fantasy world, and concentrate on just getting out climbing as a hobby and enjoying yourself - it's what 99% of us do, and I can heartily recommend it.
Sorry to be blunt Sawas, but it's time somebody showed you some respect and honesty, and pointed out the gigantic herd of elephants in the room.
Enjoy your climbing in all its forms, and at whatever level you get to, and channel your obvious enthusiasm at things you can turn into rich experiences and treasured memories.
