For a very long time, bouldering harder and harder was the main reason that I climbed. Setting and achieving progressively bigger goals was the one thing I was into, so training became a part of my climbing early on. Slightly overambitious, getting into bouldering in my mid-twenties meant that I had to play catch-up with those who inspired me, and I believed that the more I trained and the harder I went after it, the sooner I’d get there.
