Trad's bringing the fun back for me. I started out climbing as it was a blast - then got serious about meeting goals and pushing myself - and have gone full-circle.

It's all about enjoying the day.

NOTE Glad I already had my kids (and they were older) when I started climbing. And since I'm old now I can live vicariously through their teenage partying, philandering and shinanegans...

I think there is a second part to this question. Is your dream grade different from your climbing goals? For example, I currently climb moderate 12 and my goal is to climb 13b, which I think is obtainable. But my dream would be to climb 14a and beyond, but I doubt that will be obtainable due to other things in life. Just curious?

I agree with wolfman and ahab - to be able to gracefully glide up a route, regardless of grade, is a goal, in addition to the main reason, to enjoy myself.

Why be happy to do the hard stuff, and perhaps much less eloquently - just to say I can? Grade varies and technique adapts to the challenge, but can still have precision and beauty. That's my take.

I dream to fly, but the reality is that I only climb.
