So mad that you almost cry
 

Yesterday was one of those days that goes by in such a fast motion that it becomes a blur. I’m sure that everyone has had at least one of those days and when you do it becomes hard to remember what happened. To be honest I wish it was difficult to remember but honestly it was one of those things where it’s difficult to forget. See the past few times I’ve gone out climbing I have been having trouble completing some of the routes. There are four routes that I have been working on and each one has been a pain in the ass for me. They all are super difficult to start but once you get past the start they are pretty wonderful routes. One of them I almost finished but there was a slight complication at the end and I had to come down from the wall. After that one attempt, every other attempt has been a failure. 

We spent about 3-4 hours climbing and I attempted this one route five times before I finally got so angry and frustrated that I called it quits. I couldn’t do anymore and I walked away before I got so mad that I cried. Everyone else in the gym is such good climbers and it frustrates me that I haven’t been able to get any of the ones I want to get. Every time we've been there I’ve been stuck and it really does put me down to see everyone else doing so good and succeeding at these routes. 

I hope that today I can get the ones I want. I hope that I can finally complete them and say that I did them before they get swapped out. The only route I finished yesterday was one that all the way in the back corner that I didn’t even try to do well. Yet I finished it on the second try. That in itself is pretty frustrating but at least I left with one completed and the owner said that the route was coming down sometime tomorrow (today) so we did it just in time. 

This afternoon I will be taking on the wall again. I just hope I can finish them so that I can walk away feeling accomplished.
