We live in an age of fast food bouldering. Gym boulders are turned over more frequently than ever before. You can try 2,500 different V7’s on a Moon Board before you have to move on to V8.

If you aren't aware of Jorg Verhoeven, it's likely that you don't pay all that much attention to climbing.

I sit down with Arno Ilgner to discuss the differences between being motivated by goals and being motivated by process. 

Goals aren't made to be met.
