The climb.

She climbs, as though her life depended on it. She looks to the top, then down. She takes a deep breath and clenches her teeth. She knows this climb is hard, she knows she will make it to the top. She grabs a ledge, places her foot a step above from where it was. As she pulls, and pushes her self higher she moves her other hand to another ledge. As she checks to make sure its save to grasp onto she notices it might be a little loose, but she continues to put her faith on that little ledge, as if her life depended on it. She begins to move her foot a step higher to where her goal is. Taking a deep breath, she pushes herself up, and pulls, as she pulls the rock breaks off. She races to find another ledge to quickly grab onto, but she cant seem to find a good stable one, they all crumble before her eyes. She has so many thoughts racing through her mind, and all she can think about is that she has to make it to the top, she can get past this moment, and she can get to the top. With her other hand She grabs a ledge she had grabbed earlier, knowing that spot has already been checked. As she reaches for it with all her faith, she finally grasps it, as if her life depended on it. She dangles and notices her fingers can only hold on for so long. She screams, "NOOO!". She finds a couple of spots to rest her feet, and eventually grasps another ledge, with her other hand. She starts to whimper in disappointment. She feels a little defeated, and starts to doubt herself. She starts to wonder if she will even be able to make it to the top. She looks around her, she feels so small. She had gotten so far, and now has to start again. She rests her head on her arm, breathing heavily. She debates on whether it will be worth it when she gets to the top. Once she catches her breath, she takes a deep one, and looks up. She knows this spot, for she has already conquered it before. She moves her hand to a ledge slightly above it, checks it thoroughly to make sure her previous mistake doesn't happen again. She moves her foot up, and pulls herself slightly higher. She continues to move up, and each step gives her more and more confidence. She looks down and sees how far she has made it. She knows she can do this. She slows her pace this time, and checks each step she takes more thoroughly than before. She trusts herself, and trusts that she can make it to the top without falling again.
