There is SO much to do I have to force myself to sit still for a moment and enjoy. Once I get that done, I'm looking to get to the outer branches of the tree, then to the adjacent tree and then to the next and on and on.
Typical example: At the rendezvous this year we did a group climb in a grove of bald cypress. Nice trees and not terribly far apart, maybe 20' or so. Once we were in the tree and I had climbed to the lateral top and took a moment to enjoy it was off to the next tree. Before I got too far away I built a swing from my traverses and enjoyed the childish moment.

I know I should slow down and enjoy the climb more. I guess my perspective has been production for so long it will always influence me when I climb. Neither good nor bad just is. I have no problem with it nor see the need to change.

One of the things I enjoy most about the rec climb community is the fresh perspectives and "slowdownedness". I mean that latter term as a sincere compliment. It is something I need to apply to many aspects of my life. I just think for me, it will be a lesson I learn from other non-tree pursuits.
