Sunday, 29 October 2006 - My husband's 5.10 climb

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for my husband's 5.10 climb.

Completing a 5.10-rated outdoor climb is a major milestone for any climber. I am proud to report that, this afternoon, my husband, S, completed his first 5.10 in Red Rock Canyon. At the end of the day, he climbed the 5.10 three times (we also climbed easier adjacent routes). T and I are so happy for him. What a fantastic achievement!

(Yes, I tried to climb the 5.10 and nearly reached the third bolt. Maybe next year.)

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
