Because failure is not an option

I hear so many people say that projecting a route or problem isn't them. It's time consuming and frustrating to not do a move.

Yes. I have been in that mentality before. Getting frustrated sucks. Believe you me...or something like that. But as of lately. And by that I mean since June of 2010. I haven't been giving up on problems as easily as I have before. Granted there are some that I have said no more on due the to fact that I will just become even more frustrated by not executing a move and yelling and swearing. I'd rather not swear and yell than to get frustrated and pissed off at my inability to execute a move.

But the point is that many people get distracted by other climbs and never come back to do something they were close on, simply because they got bored with projecting it. They've done the bottom sequence over and over and over, yet get shut down at one or two moves continuously. If you want to give up, fine. But you're going to be thinking about it until you do the route or problem.

I'm not saying you should ONLY project things to death. You should find things that you want to climb, try them, and if you can't do them right then and there, save your energy and come back the next time and get on it. It's simple. You have nothing else to do.

Failure by giving up and moving on because you got shut down is not an option.

Failure is not an option.
