You're like, oh, I just did something easy and people thought it was amazing.

Let's call that good.

And you're like, well, that's just not good because it's easy.

What am I doing today?

What am I trying to do this week?

So basically everything I've ever climbed is logged with, you know, difficulty and times and whatever.

And so I'm constantly trying to take things as a climber, you know, just like to do new climbs that I haven't done before.

And I'm not going to be able to go to that cliff very often this season just because of travel and work and life basically.
