Climbing wasn't a 'choice' or decision for me any more than breathing, as I was doing it constantly from infancy on I was told.
THE most important lesson I've learned over a life time of it?
Go with it when it's happening, walk away when it's not, and know the difference between the two...

In the beginning the rock had a few cracks and was void of bolts.
Clink and friends created routes and it was so damn good.

That climbing is not the most important thing in life, and I was pretty damn selfish to think that it was.

I came here to say that, but Apogee said it better than I could have.

It has shown me how easily I give up. When I am leading, I don't give up, but then, I don't lead very hard and I saty well within my comfort zone. On TR though..... "Lower please" I say, practically the moment I worry I may not be able to do a sequence. I don't even TRY half the time.
Is it the same with life in general for me? Perhaps it is.
Maybe my 2015 resolution should be to eliminate requests for TR lower off.
