Rock Climbing

You place your foot onto the tiny ledge then carefully transfer your weight onto it by pulling on the side hold out to the right. Standing gently so you stay in balance you move your left hand up where a pocket in the gray limestone beckons. It's a jug! You look up at your belayer and grin, you haven't noticed the rope but as you moved it moved too, protecting you. You haven't noticed the drop below either as you've been too busy figuring out the moves. Feeling secure you look around. It's incredible and there's nowhere you'd rather be!
