Luckily for my ego, and my life trajectory, I found climbing and happily never really swam laps in the pool again. Honestly, it felt nice for my pride to find a sport where the effort and excitement I put into it was more evenly matched with better results. But over the years I found that the places that climbing took me often also had these beautiful bodies of water. I always wondered about swimming across them, but never followed through since I now had this weird thought that since I gained some notoriety in climbing, it meant that if I was bad at something else it would reflect poorly on my climbing and my pointless desire for perfection. This weekend, along with some lovely friends, I swam across Tenaya Lake in the high country of Yosemite. This is by far no means of a great athletic feat, people do it all the time. But thankfully I'm no longer striving for useless perfection. My family paddled next to me and I was with the last of the group to get out of the water. I highly recommend trying things that you never did out of fear of imperfection, it can be so refreshing. // @outdoorresearch @yeti @metoliusclimbing @touchstoneclimbing @ospreypacks @goclimbon @lasportivana」8月23日 3時45分
