- Alessio - Ale74 -
Last Friday (4/16/2010 - this time I was careful to superstition), with my partner, we went to climb to Stallavena, the goal (I) close the account with the No. 13 Via Sperone sector, Via ADA.
Account opened about 12 months ago (exactly 12 months and 7 days), when the last step I fell and I got injured left ankle.
First warm-up lap and objective study on the road, rising from second on the free end of the rope, psychologically gave me a hard time, despite everything.
Back at the base of the street I said "I do not know if I am able, I had a lot of fear on the last step."
But now is the decisive moment, the make or break.
I said "Well, what's bad, the worse and the up coming back, but I try."
big sigh of concentration and so, more or less peacefully until the final step, to overcome a slightly overhanging wall on the left, a vertical rib on the right and basin wide on the left need to finish this step.
Well, there we are, there he is Mr. Spit, and looks at me, from a height of 4 meters seems to say "you have the balls to go now or I will reject it again?".
Inevitably, one thinks of that day and the fear begins to do its job right.
The rope is there, tied to your harness passed last court not far to the right, I do not know what to do, fear stops me legs and arms seem to be of wood, I would go down, close my eyes for 15/20 seconds of concentration, a deep breath and then decide to leave.
Hands and feet do their job, jacks are solid and perfect support, are at stake, placed a foot, and will not take jokes (fide the Katana are doing their duty to wonder).
repositioned the right hand side of bringing it to the left, get up and walk away with the momentum of what looks like a terrace with Mr. Spit there that looks at me and says "Are you finally succeeded."
I look at him, smile and return the string.
The road is now closed, still missing a few meters to get to the stop, walk through these last few yards, smiling, happy to be able to even the score.
Pass the string stop and drop me, coming down and I say to my partner, "Well, with this I might as well go home now "but we stopped for two more shots, just in time to open a new" yard. "
