How to progress in climbing while still having fun

To me it all starts in the mental aspect if your treating it like a challenge then you can fail and create a mental block for yourself, On the contrary when you go into it just to have fun you end up exceeding your expectations while still having a great time and progressing.​​

One thing to always remember is if you only look at yourself and not others you will continue to grow don't compare to someone with three years more under there belt that's unrealistic. Now comparing how you did since your last climb has always been the number one way to gauge improvement.

Some will have other opinions and everyone is entitled to there own just remember its like surfing its an aesthetic sport its for the beauty and joy there's no gold medal atop El Capitan just a view few see from the side of a glacier polished rock that soars into the sky.
