I recently decided to join Young, Wild & Free (YW&F) Season 2, a novice climbing competition organized by the Sports Climbing Association of the Philippines (SCAPI).
My friends at Sandugo were keen on bugging me to join and I kept saying that didn't want to because I didn't feel ready for it (It was announced a week before it was scheduled). They said that I didn't have to win; that it's just for the sake of experience. Someone even offered to sponsor my registration it but I still declined. However, after a week of guilt-tripping, getting a go-signal from my dad and after telling myself that all I had to do was qualify for the finals, I decided to go for it on August 16... just a day before the comp.
