    I used to climb loads about a year ago, and I was doing quite well, for my standards at least. I enjoyed bouldering, lead-climbing and trad.

    Unfortunately I had to take a break for mental health reasons. Now I want to get back into it again, I am finding every time I go I am just getting so frustrated with how hard I find things now. But it's not that I'm finding it hard, I don't mind not completing a difficult problem, it's that I am genuinely struggling to even start some of these climbs, and it's so demoralising.

    The only climbs I can climb at the moment are the very easiest in the gym, their first level of climbs. But they are sooooo easy that I get very little satisfaction from them.

    Again, I apologise for the rambling post, I just needed to vent or I think I'd cry



  • Anything, or anyone, that speaks positively of 'Coddling of the American Mind' should be approached with extreme scepticism.

    An interesting resource for people looking to combat shit like this is the podcast 'If Books Could Kill'.

    I don't nessecirily always agree with the hosts' wider takes on things, but their reading of these types of books is pretty spot on.
