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"

Not About How Hard You Can Hit
So, I am sitting here, watching a documentary with some freshman during my free block and I realize it is about time I update my blog. Well, for those of you, who have been on the edge of their seat wondering whether or not I got my motivation back, I actually have!! It did not take too long but it was certainly tough. I talked to my old coach, Vasya, and he gave me some advice which I took to heart. Just have fun with what you are doing and work your ass off. Success will follow. I was super excited to see that he mentioned Josh Larson, being the UBC pro tour champion. It gave me the motivation I needed to get back in the gym and crush!!! Thanks for everyone who has helped me through this. There will always be something in my way and an objective I need to get through. But i need to remember that I will always get through it and I will always keep going foreword. "It's not about how hard you can hit, but how hard you can get hit and keep moving foreword"
