Which is not a good sign too, this habit. First, it was because of national service. Nothing which I had control over. After that, I sort of picked it up again, but somehow, I slowed down and stopped it eventually. Then I picked it up again, all because of an upcoming trip. Then I slowed down again. Surprise surprise, I did it again today. Finally made a trip down to Climb Asia to break my 1 year (?) climbing break. I can’t really recall when was the last time I climbed. I did climb once sometime in May, before my trip to S.A. That was then, and I stopped again, only to start again today. It’ll be good if I can keep the momentum going, but when there’s a route which you know can be done mentally, but physically impossible, it a very demoralizing path to take.

Still, that’s what you get when you put on the brakes, only to start again some time later. It’s not the first time too. I need to find time to take my bike out for a spin, but the excuses I manage to create are one too many.

Still, it was climb never-the-less, although it was very unspectacular, which isn’t a surprise at all. All in all, I managed to do 2 climbs worth $2, and another 2 climbs worth $1 each. That’s all, and that’s extremely dismal.

Ahh well, age has finally caught-up? I guess the only thing I can do is to play catch-up, although I do believe that in time to come, probably some time next year, I’ll put climbing on hold again, for a short while. Until then, I guess I can only do so much.

Incidentally, does anyone have a classic xbox console which is taking up space and collecting dust? I’ve got this sudden urge to look for a budget set. I’ll be on the look-out until this urge suddenly disappears as quickly as it appeared. Until then …
