I have been here before

But it still feels like a very long way off! That feeling you get when you first try something really hard. It's alien to most climbers, as they don't often try hard stuff relative to them. I'm talking about routes where you can't even do the moves, where success is measured in tens of days or even years. Not something that was desperate but you'll probably do next go.

Rock to Ice, Part 1: Emily Harrington finds new inspiration in ice climbing

by Emily Harrington Ice climbing ?! I began ice climbing and mixed climbing this past December because I wanted to prove something. No matter how lame that sounds, I wanted to try something new and prove that I could be more than a sport/competition climber. “You’re gonna hate it.” “Ice climbing? Seriously? Isn’t that too cold for you?” “Whoa Emily.”

A stop in my life...

As some of you know, I had a serious accident last December. Serious but thankfully not too dramatic.I haven’t mentioned it here or talked much about it because I have been putting all of my energy into healing and rehabilitation.
I was lucky, in my bad luck, and everything eventually went much better than what the doctors told me in the beginning. First of all, I had an excellent surgeon and he did a very good job repairing my broken sacrum with two titanium screws, which will stay in place for less than a year.
