Darkest Moments on the Wall (Bouldering Edition)

You finally picked a gym and rushed there after work, only to find they just reset all the routes. You missed the update on WeChat. At check-in, the friend who invited you suddenly goes MIA mid-registration. You stand alone in awkward silence with the staff. You unzip your bag, reach in—and realize your leggings are still at home. So are your shoes. And your chalk bag. You’ve been projecting that one route for weeks. Then someone new walks in, crushes it on their first try with bad footwork and pure force. You just stand there, internally shattered. Sometimes the wall humbles you in the smallest ways. And still, we come back. #sport #climbing #fearonthewall
