How do you become the best climber you can be?You dream big. You plan your trip and pack your bag. You get on the climb. You try. You make mistakes. You adjust. You fall off and pull back on and fall off again. You care enough to ask why. You learn.You adapt. Over and over again.Starting with the inflection point that eventually led to his goal to climb one hundred 5.13’s, climbing coach Kris Hampton, in Adapt, digs deep into the decisions made, hurdles confronted, and lessons learned. He highlights his mistakes as well as his successes, and offers ways that we can set valuable goals and avoid those same pitfalls.With failure and improvement as his catalysts, Kris reached that goal on the morning of his 50th birthday.“Through it all, I’ve dreamed. I’ve tried. I’ve made mistakes and tried again. I’ve asked why. I’ve learned a lot of lessons. I’ve adapted.”This is that story. These are those lessons.
