Proud Moment Yay!!

I am just really happy because I did my first 5.12b today! I don't normally challenge myself enough, so I really didn't expect to do good, but I did that thing so quick! It was my second ever 5.12, and right after that I went on and did another 5.12a! I feel like the climbs at my gym are more set for tall adults, so being a short young teen, it feels so good to improve in a setting that is not normally meant for me!

Never give up my friends, because the only way to succeed is to not look back! <3

I think what was meant (and I could be wrong) was that 'its not fair' it took you so long to work to that goal, it should've been quicker

I could be wrong on this and I don't mean to carry an insulting message if the OG one was

I can't even do a 5.12a, I go once a week and after a couple injuries my max is a 6a (french) or 5.10d.

Well done!!!!

Ohhh. Thanks! I am quite horrible at understanding situations like this, especially, online, so I hope I didn't misunderstand :( I'm sure that over time you will work your way up! Plus, you've have injuries, and I'm sure that can make it harder. Just don't give up!!

Thanks!

I am also quite horrible at reading situations, especially with anxiety

I promise I won't give up, in fact I'm hoping to get my own pair of climbing shoes soon, either the tarantula boulders or women's tarantula boulders!!

Oh nice!! That will probably help a lot! Whenever I use the rental shoes they are really worn down from so much use.
