How to Climb Perfectly Now
Climbing Perfectly
Last week I overheard a climber critique his climbing performance after falling just below the top of a 5.12 route. He talked about missing a foot placement, which caused him to hesitate and fall. He said that if he would have climbed perfectly, by putting his foot precisely on the hold, then he would have succeeded. I began to wonder what it meant to “climb perfectly.” Is there Read more of this blog post »

“Remember, your highest goal is learning, and only in action does true, experiential learning occur. This is what you climb for.”

“Why do you seek out a challenging climb? Climbing achievements matter little in the grand scheme of things. They don’t create world peace, send your children through college, or even make you a “better” person. The learning that can take place in the process of your climbing achievements is what matters. Climbing can challenge you to the core, which is valuable and allows you to learn about yourself and expand your possibilities. You dig deep on a climb, gain self-knowledge, and apply that self-knowledge—that power—to any situation. If a climb you expected to be difficult proves to be easy and doesn’t challenge you, then it loses most of its benefit. Remember the importance of feeling challenged.”
