At a certain point, after you’ve hiked for an hour, and it’s 30 degrees outside, and your crash pads are hard as rocks, and you’re looking up over the top of a big beautiful piece of sandstone, and your fingers are bleeding, and your forearms are cramping, and there’s just one more move between you and the big finish…you have a spiritual experience that can’t be explained by words. I believe that’s where the climbing religion began; with a group of people worshiping the tops of boulders. A piece of the paper I wrote for my Kin 101 class explaining the health benefits of rock climbing and bouldering.
