They made it look easy. I nearly tore my shoulder.

Saw a viral reel of a girl heel-hooking through a roof. I thought, “I can try that too.” I couldn’t. I slipped, slammed into the mat, and lay there embarrassed, shoulder buzzing. No one filmed that part. Turns out, she’s been climbing 8 years. I’ve been climbing 3 months. Now I skip the flash and stay with the basics. It’s less sexy, but I go home in one piece. #sport #climbing #realitycheck
