Back from my second bouldering session, this time at @stronghold_uk as part of The North Face’s @neverstoplondon event series. The two hours before I left for it I had the nervous adrenaline, uncertainty, would I still be able to do it thoughts. I ran there, that’s always calming. As usual there’s lovely people to chat to, and it was a supportive environment again. Guy at reception: “What’s your experience, less than 6 months?” “Ha, 1 session!” “You’ll need to hire shoes then.” “Nah, I have them.” “You have shoes?” - yes, I’m that confident after 1 session! Psych 🙄 But yes, I have some second-hand shoes to make the test hobby a tad cheaper. They’re incredibly small but I did well tonight despite that, pushed what I was uncertain of just to have a go - even when people from the group had gone and I was climbing alone. I didn’t wear socks because they’re so small + they dyed my feet blue. I also have an ankle graze. ••• I’m ready for the next time. ••• #neverstop #bouldering #boulderinglondon #newhobby #bluefeet #chalkhands #tinyshoes #climbingshoes #indoorclimbing #climbinglondon #trywhatyoureafraidof (at Stronghold UK) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bohn_d3nHBB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7736mertpgka
