when you determine which peak you intend to scale…….you train for that peak………because they are all different……….all are taxing, trying, confusing, draining and treacherous…………..but different…………..like 2 people that look alike but eons apart….

you train………..but you have learned that no matter how hard or long you train……there will be an aspect you aren’t prepared for………then you will muster all the ingenuity and creativeness to meet that challenge………

an old climber i admire told me to be prepared for the worst and then some…….but you won’t get it all………..accept the difference between fear and impossible and be willing to work through fear and accept impossible………..

we all are climbers to a degree………….you may very well fail……………but the height you do attain is a victory in itself and that will keep you climbing……….
