“I’m still aiming to be strong and not just in a physical sense. Most days I try to train my body and mind to be able and ready for anything for as long as possible. What “anything” is though has changed. Not longer am I willing to pull on sharp pockets for just another boulder problem. From time though if the conditions are right and the line is tempting I’m happy that I am not arriving unprepared! Beyond bouldering I hope to also remaining self-sufficient and useful to my loved ones and therefore I’m aiming to always progress in some way to remain resilient, free thinking, confident and humble. That old saying about the brightest flame burning the quickest seems to be sometimes true in bouldering.
Yet – What use is a person who lasts five years and has to stop training due to bad knees and a broken ankle? How useful is a body that can’t move pain free due to years of neglect and abuse? The journey of bouldering was never meant to be a brilliant flash of spectacle and show, it was always intended to be a lifelong pursuit of improvement and one that doesn’t need to end once the body begins to show signs of age. When exercising with my athletes for example I’m often confronted with the sad truth of not quite being in their league – but stop bouldering? No, not whilst the mind is still young. Not if the soul still seeks adventure, and challenge and play.”
