Summer in Korea wouldn't be complete without an inundation of torrential rain typical of global climate trends. Our planet is surely at odds with our abuse and is fighting back. The power it has will always supersede our own human capacities no matter how powerful we THINK we are. Nature always wins and leaves in its wake, us dumbfounded.
So, the typical "on we go rain or shine" shall be heeded here. A few weeks ago in Chuncheon, South Korea, a smattering of international climbers amassed for the International Federation of Sports Climbing World Cup. With the likes of those currently headlining rock climbing flicks all over the planet, we endured the downpours together. A tense feeling of competition air was abated after the storms and the party ensued. What a great opportunity to speak Spanish and chat with some of the strongest climbers in the world! An event to be remembered. With the power of a felt pen, I gathered signatures from the usual suspects and will auction off a priceless cloth napkin to give proceeds to www.climbupsokidscangrowup.com. On the day of my mother's birth, September 18th, anywhere you are, climb and dedicate your passion to those who are at times forgotten.
