It's so amazing.
Yeah.
I mean, and that's the thing is like from age 18 to 30, I basically did try to climb every single thing I could see because I was just like, I'm learning, I'm growing.
This is amazing.
I climb everything.
And like, now I'm actually much more strategic about it because doing tons of easy climbing, like doesn't really help me at this point.
I'm not going to make like big technique gains.
It basically just makes me tired without, without the right kind of gains.
It'd be like somebody, it'd be like an elite runner, just jogging for miles and miles every day.
And you're kind of like, that's not going to make you, it's not going to,
improve your marathon time if you're already like an elite runner.
It might be fun, but it's just not going to, like, move the needle for you.

The world really – it's like a winner-take-all economy type deal.
It's like basically if you're the dude that does the thing, all of a sudden your earnings go insane.
But until you become the dude that does the thing, if you're like the best magician or the best comedian or the best whatever, then all of a sudden you make an insane amount of money.
