For some reason I got the random urge to post...

If you guys are old school YourClimbing folks, you might remember me. In case you forgot, I'm ashley... you can call me badash, ash, the dialated monkey, flashley, radash, or anything else.

I honestly have no idea why i stopped posting here, I guess I've been climbing alot...

Life is good.

This blog is getting nowhere... but i just wanted to make an online appearance after being absent a while...

A STERLING ROPE!!!!!!!!

WOW, you guys just scared me soo much!

I havent been able to get on in the last few days due to TRIPLE CROWN.... and so i came to post about it and the site was blank. Nothing was on it. I waited a few minutes and tried again. NOTHING. I was sooooooo scared that it got shut down that I went over to RockClimbing.com (oh no!) and asked if anyone is on that site from YourClimbing. I'm so loyal. haha. THANK GOD this site is still up, i dont want to be scared like that again!

Passion.

What does this word mean?

craving. enthusiasm. infatuation. attatchment. devotion. desire. drive. OBSESSION.

Sometimes when I really think about my passion my whole being feels like its lifting to the sky. I seriously get the chills and a tingling sensation runs through my fingers and down my back. I can really tell that I am... in love with the lifestyle, i guess!

Who knew that a passion is basically what I live for!? Who knew that just THINKING about it can give me these crazy feelings!?

Okay, first things first: TRIPLE CROWN is hardly a competition to me... its more like a gathering of a TON of climbers to hang out for a weekend. Simply lots of climbing, talking, partying, and just enjoying the area for a couple days.

I think did good (for myself).

I think my motivation for climbing is coming back at a higher level because of my 3 week break.

Everyone knows that climbing is my life - that I am addicted and obsessed with it, and my life revolves around it.

...But recently I have been concious about what I eat  - just out of my mind's default mode. I will automatically say "no" to fatty foods and then go for some organic, healthy stuff. The exact words I tell myself are, "Okay, should I eat this bowl of icecream and enjoy it or would I rather climb stronger?"
