“If the body gets sick, the spirit loses much of its cognitive and comprehensive ability and fails to enjoy the desirous aspects of life" and that "If the spirit gets sick, the body may also find no joy in life and may eventually develop a physical illness." - Abu Zayd al Balkhi, 850-934. All souls call out for salvation, but salvation itself must be seek. Not waited upon.

“Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk. But no flower grows.” - Vincent Van Gogh. Sustain style of climbing was never my forte. With each move, your body becomes more and more heavy. You can feel the lactic acid building up on both of your forearms and shoulders. Your heart rate goes up. One cardinal truth guides you: Commit to each move or suffer the consequences. All that in mind while navigating the crux move and getting the send. Drive, revive me once more.

Doubt is not the fear of failure. Doubt is the strong motivation to succeed. You must balance a safe controllable outcome with a predictable results against a trickier more fickle one that has a more emotional charge, and try to assess the risk of failure - Jacky Godoffe When you climb at your limit, everything matters. From how you move your hands, the swing of your hip, which part of the rock you step on, all must be perfect. A slight change will result in a catastrophic failure (read:falling). But it’s part of the game. So you get lowered off, think about the necessary adjustments and try again. 📷: Nubli and awesome belay by @faisalduke #teambolderventures #lunarclimber #arciium #frictionlabs #climbyourimpossible #chalkmatters #sportclimbing #climbing #uselessdomore #climbmalaysia #goayam #bukitketeri #savek3 #skuadpanjatroof (at Bukit Keteri,Chuping Perlis)

Your greatest fear are created by your imagination. Don't give in to them - Winston Churchill. . . Making my way down in the dark foggy night. Descent is always the scary part. Most accidents happened during descent. Been in a few myself.
