This evening I've been bouldering at the gym with a friend. It was a little bit demoralizing at first, but toward the end I managed to do a good boulder after all. Feels good when you manage to do things you're struggling with, right!?!The photo is by the way from the National Geographic Vintage Photos Photo Gallery. This is the description of it:
"No Boys Allowed
Photograph by Mrs. Dean Peabody, 1929
To get to the top of this spire in the Chamonix Aiguilles, France, climbing pioneer Miriam O’Brien Underhill scaled up its center ridge with her camera held between her teeth in 1929. Famous for “manless Alpine climbing,” Underhill was the first woman to conquer several challenging peaks, including the Matterhorn. On these treks she climbed only with other women."
Cool lady, huh?
