The setbacks will come. When you’re over 40, injuries can take forever to pass. The lifelong error is to stop training through them. I have way too many friends who were climbing at 5.12 or 5.13 or 5.14, got some injury, and just stopped climbing for the season. Then a couple of months more. That much time off and you might never get back to a high performance level. It’s sad that we are so tied to our performance levels, but we are - it’s simply not quite as fun to go out and struggle on routes you remember feeling great on.

“I’m excited to announce the launch of my personal Substack, where I’ll be sharing deeper insights, stories, and reflections on the world of climbing. For a small fee, you can join me in this exclusive space for more in-depth content and personal musings. While free articles and content will continue to be available on Climb Strong, Substack will offer a closer look at my individual thoughts on climbing, training, and beyond. I’d be honored to have you join this growing community."
