Dear R,

A via ferrata (Klettersteig) is always a small battle with yourself. Starting with the preparation days, when the small voice inside of your head tells you that maybe you should stay home.

Maybe it will be too hard. Maybe you are not good enough. Continuing with the moments when you are between 2 steps, taking a deep breath, hesitating if you should continue or go back. Or just stay there. And the voice inside the head screaming all the time: Why couldn’t you stay home and enjoy a lazy sunny day. But, after a while, your steps are more confident.

The voices are quiet. You can even enjoy sometimes. And you are happy that you decided to do it, despite your fears. Because the joy found at the end of the fear is always bigger.

Ferrata greetings,

C.
