Yosemite Valley is one of my favorite places on Earth so it’s always great to see a nice video about climbing there. The following two videos totally fit the bill as Alex Honnold talks about finishing an old Todd Skinner project on the Leaning Tower.
It’s interesting to see the process that Honnold takes and the motivation that stems from this encounter with Skinner. In the first video, I appreciate the discussion about the mindset we have for different challenges. Having a growth mindset and one that is eager to take on challenges and work hard is incredibly beneficial and often we have to cultivate it because it doesn’t always come naturally.
Enjoy.
