![]() ![]() I developed the Climbing Wheel of Life after discussing these questions for years and then co-founding ClimbWell as a space to answer them. ![]() Over the years, I’ve gotten more interested in the act of balancing than in “finding the perfect balance.” What does it look like to intentionally cultivate a balance between rock climbing and the rest of life when our values and circumstances are always shifting? When we change jobs, move to a different state, level up our climbing, get injured, start a new relationship, have kids, start a new service project, or change our ideas about what we want from our career? Life is more like a balancing act in response to our constantly changing priorities and circumstances. And I start to question – as I think many of us do – whether it’s possible to have it all: climbing, an engaging career, and a thriving social or family life.īut if we look closer, I think we see that our quest for “the perfect rock-life balance” is misdirected. ![]() Sometimes it feels like I’ll never find the perfect rock-life balance. Or the many times when I’ve taken on a big work project and long hours at the computer mean I’m too tired to train at my best. Like last year, when I was living in Santa Cruz and weekends felt like a constant tradeoff between jetting off to Yosemite and staying in town to spend quality time with my fiancée. There have also been times when it feels like I just can’t squeeze enough climbing in. Spending all of my money – yes, all of it! – so I could travel to southeast Asia and live on ten dollars a day to rock climb in Laos or Thailand. Delaying any type of career ambition so I could train twice a day in the gym and project outside on Wednesdays. I spent more than a few years making climbing the central focus: working as little as possible and sleeping in the back of my Prius so I could take month-long trips to climb in Utah or Yosemite.
