Freeclimbing the Dawn Wall

[Masato]

Hey all - climbing is very beautiful and I have no doubt it allows a person to reach great states of consciousness mind/body/soul etc etc, but I still am very baffled how and why people take it to such extremes.

My father was an amateur climber, and I remember he took me a bunch when I was younger... I like scrambling around climbing walls sometimes too, but my comfort zone with heights is dimishing greatly with age, lol (I used to have little fear, jumping big cliffs into water/snowboarding etc)

This extreme climbing is a kind of attraction that is both bizarre and beautiful to me:

White people stuff. It's the idea of conquering nature manifest.

hmmm... ^^

Climbers will tell you its being one with nature but you might be right, lol

It is fun I have to admit.

I used to climb when I was young. Had a 15 meter cliff jump near my families estate. I had to do the first jump since my cousin has always been scary. Lucky it was deep enough heh
