This is supposed to be fun?
Well, normally it is but today it was below -10 celsius all day. Secondly dragging myself out of bed at the ungodly hour of 8:30 on a saturday, all in the name of ice climbing. Fricking freezing Mr.Bigglesworth. Of course being foolish I didn't accessorize as well as I should have. Namely, a nice ski glove for climbing and a big fat dopey mitt for belaying. But theres a lot to be said for ascending a frozen water fall, your cold toes start to burn and you get a nice warm fuzzy as you and your ice tools work your way up the face. Kicking like a man possessed with your front points to find some purchase. All so you can take the strain off your sore muscles before doing it all over again.
Did I mention I suck at it? Well I'm still new I guess. I haven't dropped anything yet *knock on wood. So I'm not doing too bad I think. Luckily my friend took pity on me and we switched off on belay. I need a thicker puffy coat too. Ughh.. I can just see the money I spend on all this stuff... Fuck.
Comparitively though, its nicer than hanging by your finger tips off a warm rockface, wondering why you didn't place your feet first. But not quite as nice as enjoying the view of a nice tight ass, and shapely spandex clad cuties.. Who of course are much more skilled than I as they gracefully ascend overhangs and what seem like impossible reaches. But thats just me.
Rant Ends.
*yay! i can feel my toes.*
