i was never an athletic child. to be quite honest, i am not an athletic adult, either. sure, i like walking in the woods with a backpack for miles on end but that doesn't really feel like any physical feat of note. not really. i recall not wanting to do the rope climb in gym class because, like algebra, when was i ever gonna need to use this

maybe i can scootch over in the water how deep is it really are those rocks wet

ok. fine. this is fine.

what's the rope for

i didn't even really burn my hands that much. sandy grit, my fat ass and friction no problem. glad that's done one and done as they say wait what how many more SIX MORE dammit this better be worth it.

it was

the worst part of this is probably having to leave.
