There are strong people who aren't able to climb. It's about reading the rock, knowing how to position your body and having the tenacity to not let go.

I've been climbing for almost twenty years now. I'm more inspired and more motivated. I feel stronger than I ever have. I feel like that's worked up until now.

There's a balance. Time and place for everything.

In particular, with climbing, we're climbing on these surfaces that Mother Nature has created. We search out the most perfect pieces of rock. It's so amazing that these formations are so perfect for climbing on. It's almost as if they were created for climbing.

I really learned to approach climbing not just with a pure athletic mentality, but also to appreciate all these beautiful places we get to go to.

With climbing you can go to the most beautiful places on the planet and practice. Anywhere there is rock, you can climb.

The rock still has something to teach me.
