Description: This line took me 92 attempts to finally complete but I kept going until I hit 101 hoping to get it better. Even though it's not as impressive as some of the lines I've done in the past, this was mentally, physically, and emotionally one of the hardest lines for me to execute. Recent depression and loosing a lot of passion for Parkour and Freerunning has turned out to be very crippling for my life and my health. I'm currently recovering and attempting to bounce back stronger than ever before, as I always do. Normally I'd call it quits earlier or modify a line like this, but I needed this moment to prove to myself that I have more will-power than I thought, because if I didn't have enough strength to get through something as temporary as this, how could I make it through the ultimate challenge of mortality and fulfilling my purpose? Hopefully these small victories will lead me to something bigger, weather it's Parkour related, or something else currently only known by God. For now I guess faith and hope is all I have, and perhaps all I need right now. The rest will follow shortly, and the best is yet to come.
