The Slow and the Fast
Slow. I yell it, please slower. The fear is an amoeba sitting on my chest, coating my hands and tongue.
Fast. My descent feels so swift past all the moves I just made, zipping by all the places I thought I couldn’t go higher.

The rock I just spent an hour observing as not so bad, not too steep - now it is pretty bad and the pitch is quite steep.
