Rock On

I'm not made for rock climbing. I quite possibly have one of the worst balances in the world, for example i once fell over whilst standing perfectly still on a level floor. And i mean it, one moment i was standing upright, next moment i felt myself falling back, but for some strange reason was totally incapable of stopping myself. I can't even close my eyes whilst standing, as i lose my balance. Not only that but i also have really bad circulation, and i mean really really bad. Every so often my hands look like the belong on a dead man, whilst this wouldn't seem a problem it truly is when half-way up a rock wall you lose all feelings in your hands rendering nearly useless.

So why, oh why did i find myself  half-way up said rock wall. Yes, i know i decided to do it but reflecting back on it i don't think i truly thought about it. However saying that it is actually really fun, if you look past the possible injury and chilling wind, then the challenge of the climb is brilliant. And despite my lack of balance and cold numb hands i'm reasonably ok at it, being modest of course. I mean compared to this guy, i'm quite positively brilliant:

So whilst many might compare me to Sheldon, i am clearly better than him at rock climbing (if you don't agree, then feel free not to comment). So i would actually urge you to consider going rock climbing and if you're really mad go free climbing, but i think i'll steer well clear of that because that the wrong type of crazy for me.
