Many people claim to experience some sort of spiritual presence while climbing. Some people, while in the crux of a climb, far outside their comfort zone, will come to an "inner awakening" and find strength and agility they didn't know they had as they push through what once seemed "impossible."
Some people see the unique textures in the stone and the natural beauty of "creation" and will say things like, "How can anyone see this and not believe in God?"
Some people don't even know why they enjoy climbing or being outside. It just seems to provide something that is "missing."
Why do you climb? Does God have anything to do with it? What motivates you to push yourself? Is it a feeling you get afterward? Are you after more than emotional and/or physical stimuli?
