Knee has been feeling a tad better with all this time off due to weather. Work a couple, rest a few, wash, rinse, repeat.
Most of my work of late has been ground based for fire safety and storm clean up.
SO not much climbing. Just little ascents here and there.
Last couple days have been more intensive, 5 hour series of climbs.
My confidence was starting to wane some. Feel out of shape a bit. Then I go look at the trees. Know fully well I can do what I need to do, but doubt I even want to or how capable I am of doing them. Then up I go and just smoke em. Nothing horribly challenging other than mental challenge. Getting over that it might hurt if I slip or later tonight. Can't bomb stuff but not a real roping challenge. Silly crap.
Levi noticed how well I monkeyed the trees today and that I was "all over them". Customer yesterday. How fast the work moved.
Sometimes I think I am my own worst critic and brick wall to over come.
Something an injury will obviously do to your confidence.
Just wanted to share that as it might help someone just get past their in head committee.
