soilrockslove: [A picture of a person climbing up a rock face with bushes and grasses in the cracks.] This is me, climbing at the bottom of Wet Canyon.  I gave my camera to my mom for safekeeping (Raven, my beloved was also there - I don’t know who took this).  The rocks were lovely, but I did have to circumnavigate around several lizards. ^_^ Notice the cane.  Weirdly, climbing is so much easier than walking.  There are so many places that my hands and feet “should” go.  I can feel them.  It feels like a conversation or partnership with the rock - instead of me trying to get movement out into the world on my own.  And having 3 points of contact is very stable. This is granite, a rock familiar to me.  All sorts of mica in it too. I was the same way about climbing things back when I was strong enough to do it.
