climbing quote

So much wisdom distilled into this paragraph of words.. I must constantly chide myself to not forget.. to never forget..

Ultimately climbing is an experience-oriented activity, not achievement-oriented. It’s not how hard or high you climb, but how much you get out of climbing. While getting to the summit may be the goal, it’s the journey, experience, and self-discovery that hold the greatest value.
