You know what’s not discussed enough amongst the professional climber community? A few things actually ... One. What happens afterward? Most professional climbers either can’t maintain a living off of climbing forever or don’t feel fulfilled enough to do so. Where does one go next? Having climbing be a huge part of my life, and dare I say, even part of my identity, it’s a weird thing to start to let go of. Of course I will always climb, and I have big goals for the coming years, but it’s different. And I’m personally ok with that. However a lot of people get lost in the in between because so many years were dedicated to climbing and therefore it’s easy, oh-so-easy, to get lost in that world. In my case, I’ve always known I wanted more, but for many years I was too scared to say good-bye, see ya on the flip side. Honestly it’s still a little intimidating.
The other thing that’s not discussed enough is that climbing isn’t the end all. Climbing is a very awesome vehicle to share our messages, inspire, and to use to improve small pockets of some communities if we are so lucky to have such an impact, amongst a slew of other things. But sometimes it’s also isolating. People are always asking “what’s next?” as if we always need to have something else on the agenda. The thing is is that we don’t have to - time to breath or to heal or to rediscover other things is just as important. Also people often say things like “oh I can’t keep up,” when asked if they would like to climb. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who feels this way, but I wouldn’t be asking if I did care. I wanna climb with everyone, mostly, because I believe I have things to learn from everyone, newb or pro. We are all human, from myself, to the 13 year old who just nailed their first sponsor, to @サッシャ・ディギーリアン or Adam Ondra. All humans pursuing a passion and doing the best we can. ?? Just a couple things on my mind recently.
