Why do you climb?

Where have I said this, at this point you are the subpar troll. Find one comment of me saying I bolted a master piece that someone subsequently called choss. (Your gonna claim it is too much work)
Not all, just that some were and some were not. In alan watts own words, "people kept saying I was just bolting choss." I for one don't really get too worked up about whether a climb is amazing or bad till I climb it. I still don't get worked up. People act like they are on a god destined mission to climb the best splitter greatest climb ever it is just a rock. If you don't like it bomb it, if you love it give it four stars. |

Think less. Climb more |

Others have touched on. The meditation/relaxing nature of it. Even in the most stressing scenarios. I'm not thinking about anything else. It's such an intense singular focus. There is something incredible about that. It also helps re-baseline what is scary in life. First time I almost died in the mountains next large briefing I had time give at work was void of stress/fear. |

I have already sent all the other routes, so in isolation I can do all the moves. Not too worried, also chode rider has youth and bryan bolted the most popular 13s in Washington. |

Fulfillment (not the same thing as meaning). Joy (not the same thing as fun). |

Because I'm a climber. Duh. H. |

H, you hit it on the head. It has become part of my identity now and I don't know how to live without it, or who I would be without it. |

I climb to get away from people... |
