“I got this, I’m a boulder bro”
My Friend Becky
Becky lives right down the street from me in German Village. If this was a dating profile I would start by saying we enjoy long walks on the streets, coffee shops, and the Book Loft. Becky is an awesome climber and a great person to look up to. Her bouldering skills are on fire, V7’s I believe is the last one she just sent. To give you some perspective, when it comes to bouldering, I climb a V3 with a panic attack. Bouldering for me is terrifying. Constantly paranoid about breaking my knee on a bad fall. I don’t even begin to understand how she seems to not get in her head at all when she is bouldering. She inspires me to try more yet I still haven’t found a consistent bouldering schedule. There is something about being able to have another woman around when going on climbing trips. A kind of gentle understanding, and patience with encouragement and support. Not to say I don’t feel that with my other friends, there is just an added bonus when she is along for trips. The things I love about Becky is that she doesn’t seem to mind saying what her thoughts are. She just goes for it and that, for me, is comforting and also hilarious.
