Went to Princeton today to help them establish a program similar to Peak Potential. Beautiful spring day, sunny and cold. The wall was in one of the structural "pillars" around the stadium: a tight square that went higher than any gym I had been to. It reminded of Pinky's story about a grain silo in Wisconsin that they converted into a climbing gym.
About eight kids came. The two hours flew by as we assisted kids, taught students, supervised them as they took over belaying volunteers then kids, and finally them climbing with kids. The volunteers were amazing. They were doing things that took me months to get comfortable with. There are still things to iron out, administrative things I actually enjoy figuring out.
I could barely keep my eyes open on the way home, so tired. Thankfully Paul drove. It's a gift that I am able to be part of this. That in some small way, I am doing good.
