Day 160: "Climbing for me has always been the strength of the body over the weakness of the mind. If you train so that you are very strong physically and you have mastered the techniques, then all that's left is believing. Freeing your mind of fear is the key. This is very difficult to do, but when you can achieve it, then you are in true harmony with the rock. Fear is just one more thing to worry about and is very distracting. It can make you fall... ...when you know you are strong enough to complete any maneuver, once that level of physical confidence is achieved, then you are able to put fear out of your mind." - Bob Madgic, Shattered Air: A True Account of Catastrophe and Courage on Yosemite's Half Dome #alexaphotoaday #june #themeofthemonth June 09, 2014 at 11:16PM
