The Chains at Angels Landing Changed Me

I stood at Scout Lookout staring at those chains bolted into red rock, watching people grip metal with white knuckles as wind whipped around the narrow ridge. Everyone else seemed fine. I wasn't. My legs shook. Not from the 2.5-mile climb up—from realizing I'd have to choose between the summit photo I'd planned for months and admitting I was terrified. I sat on that rock for twenty minutes, watching strangers disappear around the corner to Angels Landing's peak. Some came back grinning. Others came back quiet. I didn't make it to the top that day. But I learned something more valuable than any view: knowing your limits isn't giving up. It's knowing yourself. Sometimes the real journey happens when you stop moving forward. #SoloTravelTruth #AngelsTruth #KnowYourLimits #Travel
