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"

Next Chapter
The trip to Arizona commences in exactly 3 days now!! My excitement is rising with every tick of the clock and I literally want to sleep for 3 days so it'll seem like it has come quicker because I cannot wait for this!! We leave Monday afternoon and I have officially started packing. Packing as in, knowing what I want in which bag. The physical process of packing will happen 2 minutes before we have to leave as it always does. The forecast is splendid and the climbs look amazing. I am bringing my rope and my draws and my goal is to push myself on climbs at my limit and see if all this hard training has paid off.. which I have a feeling it has. In exactly 4 days, the blazing desert sun will be shining on my face and I need it more than ever.
