True Champions win by being in the present moment, not through aggression.

We can—indeed, must—work and play in harmony with our environment, instead of raping and conquering and punishing and trashing it. And of course we can’t be perfect in our lives, or adventures—we fly, we drive…but when we can, we can and must do our best. Besides, bicycling and recycling and such is more fun than leaving a trail of waste in our wake.

But don’t listen to me. I climb enthusiastically, but poorly. Listen to Alex Honnold and Cedar Wright (and Black Diamond):
