It is hard to describe what climbing actually means to me. I could give you some bullshit that its cool to send V15s or be the first up Everest. But its not true. Its not about the ratings. Its about how you challenge yourself to be better. With climbing there is always something more to be done, there is always another mountain. Why do I climb? The best way I can describe it is by taking a quote from the famous George Mallory; "Because its there"

Never Give Up!
I have been running a lot lately for cross-training for climbing. I feel like it has been helping and I just feel better about myself. But, it happens everytime. About half way through, I get really tired and all i want to do is stop running and relax. It is one of the toughest things for anyone to do; to ignore your head and know that what you are doing is gonna help you in the long run. But it is true. I want to be great, i wanna be a great climber. So, i am happy to run and i am starting to see progress. "Pain is weakness leaving the body" i always remember that!! It helps me accel!
