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"

Loss of Motivation
It seems as though I have lost my motivation for the sport that I love more than anything in the world. I, honestly, never thought this would happen to me. I am not saying that I don't enjoy climbing or that the thought of doing it is repulsive to me but I just cant get excited about training or anything like that. I am trying to get motivated by watching climbing videos or competing against other people but nothing seems to work at all! I am hoping to climb hard and train hard but it is hard to find the motivation to do it. I guess i just got to keep going strong and try my best!

Time for a break. Climbing is like loving, the longer you go without it the better it feels when you get it back. Train in other ways and forget about climbing for a while. When you come back it will seem like a whole new sport!
