Climbing Philosophy

"...you should prepare yourself clean supported values, the respect for everything and everyone is your main formula...".

        I'll try (like the stone wall that I am!) to transmit the feelings of mortals, able to generate among you the various ways of communicating, which to be used inappropriately, fail to convey what you really feel, causing a result of criticism, which should be avoided, even though they share the same ideas.
        The different ideas and ways of thinking, enrich human beings, but do not forget they also confront them, and this is where everyone has to do its part to avoid such clashes.
        Each one will decide which way to go (fight or understanding), and the path will be followed as a magnet governed by the law of attraction, therefore let us forget that away of confrontation separates and understanding approaches - the confrontation destroys and understanding builds - let's forget about the confrontation and decide to follow the path to understanding, for this you have to give you weapons to fight and destroy any synonym contrary to the understanding, that the various ideas can flourish side by side on the same track, you should prepare yourself clean supported values, the respect for everything and everyone is your main formula, which will allow you to be more tolerant of your fellow and more demanding on yourself.
        This principle will help to provide real value, until it seemed not to have, and the worst is to have it for a moment and forget to appreciate, for example, "when you have no health problems, or think about it" inclusive in certain situations to put it in danger, but when we  have a health problem, the real value comes to mind, especially by how much you suffer. Therefore, everything has its value ... if you value your ideas, why not value the other's?
        That being said, that applies to everything in life, let us apply it to what brings us here: the mountains and climbing! It is here that in ancient times, beginning his activity, which over the years is shaping up and getting different configurations, until the present day, where a variety of ways, even inside of them, meet with different ideas to address activities; it is here that ideas are generated that may or may not be shared by other similar ideas in search of the equilibrium with the appropriate characteristics to implement them.
        Do not fall into the trap of rejecting what is not defending yourself, instead, listen and live those clean ideas that others follow, and think that if anyone follows them is because he believes in them, as well as you in yours.
    We could go further and ask:
    -What is the idea or ideal that guides you through the correct path?, I believe that before this question every one would have to ask himself:
        -What I want, what am I looking for?
        This way you can assume that people like you, and yourself,  have the power to choose the place or places that are best suited for their ideals by electing a hill, a ridge of boulder zones, school zones, based on that; others will have different ideas from yours, and others who identify with all that is upright, or in small and explosive heights as it can offer the boulder, or a large wall of 1000 meters, or inclusive, in a solitary wild wall of 3000 meters in the Himalayas. Recall that all activities that are related to the vertical world are rich, and all necessary.
        Because climbing is rich for its diversity you can receive the "jolt" you need to choose what you really search for, so far at this point, you will do the effort that you want and need to hire, here is where you can ...
        ... you can practice climbing with first-search of something essential in life and especially in a sport like climbing risk: security in yourself!
        Everything in life has a price and to be sure to also, the effort you will have to employ, your strength will have to fight three very important factors, such as technical grade, but also with the two most important that we get a good security: the exposure factor and the psychological factor; through my surface you will learn to master your emotions, and the more you do that, the more you come to be secure with yourself; never ignore that what you are is what you can offer. Strive to be safe and do not fall in the trap of relying on yourself. You have to be safe and nothing more. The trust has to exist from your companions to you, because you are ... what? ... SAFE ... and your companions have to try too so you can trust them, is a function of reciprocity, be safe, by the law of attraction that will be facilitated to ensure safety on the other. That's why I'm here, that with a new weapon I present you - the wisdom - (which will help you differentiate between trust and security), you can climb at my relief full of cracks, which, many of you will have autoequipped, you'll find boards where the distances between plates are farther than usual, and to have concentration to meet the different routes you should not allow fear to deviate from the hardness of the psychological factor and exposure, otherwise you will be deviating from the path to safety.
    If what you seek is security in yourself, come.
    Your always,

Procedure for Opening of New Routes

"...a human being does not own his own life...the decision taken will follow growing the harmony of this site...".

          Let's leave aside the feeling of possession, I say this because a human being does not own his own life, "when you least expect it can be seen stripped of it."
        Therefore I (Meadinha), a wall like many other walls, schools, boulder fields and all that we can think off, do not belong to anyone, and anyone will be able to decide how to open a way through my reliefs. This is where I ask that, even if your ideas are different, let it flow parallel and respect the type of climbing that is practiced in this school, invariable over the history; of the same respect as to other sites ... why not here too? ?
        For this I would like to ask you, before you decide to open a new route, to get to know me climbing my relief and listening to the philosophy that defends itself over generations.
        I trust that the decision taken will follow growing the harmony of this site. If at any time you have doubts, I'll be here - even if I am a stone I will know how to listen to you.
Forever,

Meadinha
