Facets of life

Climbing isn’t just about strength. It certainly is a huge component, but it isn’t the only one that matters. So does your technique and your technical know-how. There’s a head game too. You can be very strong and have the know-how, but if you don’t have the head game, well, you won’t get very far. You can’t ignore all the facets of climbing, and that’s why it is so interesting to do. Life is similar. You can be powerful in a couple of areas, but when you ignore one, it will eventually cap your ceiling.
