Dingo's 2005 Climbing Goal

Be able to climb out of bed in the middle of the night to take care of the baby after June 12. That's right! Teresa and I are expecting.

Excuse for what?

For not sending, for not going for it, for not climbing at all, for not commiting, for whatever.

Its the human way to put blame elsewhere.

It's not a matter of blame. It's a matter of fear, especially if you've experienced injuries (for me, broken/sprained ankle and whiplash). It's an inhibition to overcome.
