Hanging by your finger tips

So today I went for a hike in the new forest with my room mates. Of course it does not sound like the most exciting thing for some of you but when you live in the city and all you see every day is cars and large chunks of metal you can forget what is really out there. So like every one our hikes we are of the beaten path by a long shot. My room mates like to think they are explores and are traveling through the woods and making a path of their own. So we came upon this rock face and what else do you do with a 50 foot rock wall in front of you. Climb up it. If you have never rock climbed before you must. When you are going up something that most people would just look at is simply awesome. grabbing cracks in the rocks and getting a grip with two fingers and simply pulling your entire body weight up, there is just no words to discribe it. I dont know for me it is a true test of your self. Because when we got to the top you could see for miles. So when we got to the top we saw another cliff on the other side of the lake that was the tallest one in the park. So we decided that we had to climb that one. so we walk over and its a solid 60 feet of straight rock wall. So my other room mats go first and then its my turn. I start going and when I get about half way up I find my self stuck. I could not find a foot hole and I thought i was screwed. I then started hearing people swimming in the lake saying stuff. Like dont look down and where you going to go now. This is when i really thought i could not go any further. I thought I was screwed. I truely remeber thinking I am Fucked. 30 feet off the ground and I was stuck. I could not climb down or jump. But then I just thought to my self I can do this. I started looking every where and I found a hole. I picked my self up by the hands and swapped my feet around and swong my leg out and got the hole and climbed the rest of the way up. As I pulled my self up i seen my room mates running to the edge because the people where yelling to come help me because they thought i was going to fall. I dont konw if this is just like life. Getting to a point in your life where you face something difficult and people dont think you can make it. You just have to find it in your self that you can do it and there will always be someone there to help you in the end wether its friends or family. Sorry this is not like the other blogs of wanting to go camping and go to florida or summer vacation. I dont even konw what vacation is any more. I just look for the weekend so i can sleep till 9. Well other than that I poped my tire on my bike yesterday and I fell a sleep on my roof watching the starts. So thats about it. And i noticed I can not grow hair under a party under my chin. I do believe its from someone always pinching my chin while i was growing up.
