First ascent.

Having set himself the unprecedented challenge of climbing the The Big Five in a day, things weren’t going well as darkness descended:

Some people would say I was mad to have another go, but I knew I could unleash the fury. I have reached in and pulled things from deep out the satch before and there was no reason why I couldn't do the same right now. I pulled back on, it was my last chance. My day had been filled with ups and downs as my dream was put on the line and I was hoping that in this moment, the dream would be resurrected. I dug deep and fought with the last drop in the tank. Again, I somehow found myself at the final lunge but this time I was not surprised. I was composed and knew that if I just went a couple more inches I would land perfectly on the hold. I bent my legs and sprung, pouncing on the hold like a lion on prey. I was in the moment, very aware of what was happening. I felt a bit like a primal animal as I fought my way to the top through the darkness, letting out a wimper of joy as I reached the top. I had achieved my goal and was very surprised to do so. I had overcome lows of motivation and confidence (and light) to reach the top and success was sweet as ever.

Here's a cheesy little poem I wrote haha:

I have embraced the soreness of muscles and thinness of skin. 

The energy I had to pull from deep within. 

The moment I thought, no way, never,

I shall remember today's endeavour forever. [2]
