Activity: Learning Outcome 5, Climbing My First V5

 March 2, 2021

    Climbing has become a really integral part of my life recently. I enjoy being up there on the wall, and trying to push myself to climb harder grades. However, recently I've been feeling a little burned out and unmotivated to go to the gym. Climbing is rated in a series V1-V12. I've been stuck climbing V3's and V4's and was feeling down about not being able to get a V5. 

    One day however, at the gym, that changed. I had been working really hard on one project with my friend Jonathan. He had already completed the route and was giving me advice, otherwise known as "beta" on the route I was working on. I did the route move by move, falling often. It took me many tries, but after a while, I finally did the move I was having a hard time on and reached the top! I was really proud of myself, and have been feeling a lot more inspired to be back at the gym recently.
