Climbing

A problem with holds, a sequence, and a consequence for rushing.

It clusters with hiking, outdoor teaching, and the sketchbook some climbers keep of problems.

Fear is part of the information. So is trust in a partner’s belay.

On an Interest Map, the line we most often letter beside climbing reads “a sequence with a consequence.” It tends to meet hiking, mountains, and printmaking.

Work that shares the table

A book that keeps it company

The Creative Habit, Twyla Tharp. Read it beside climbing: Ritual and repetition, from a dancer who treats practice as the whole point.

Put climbing on your own map.
