I think it´s great and I understand her to the full. 99%+ are settling down, going the same way as everyone else. Very few dare or can take the pressure from society to go their own way. Full respect to all that are commited enough to their "hobbies" and dare to live their dreams to the full. Hail!

I agree..you have to live the way YOU want...not the way approved by society..it is YOUR life


I agree to a degree, but I think balance is key. Moderation is a word that comes to mind. Not exactly the Dominion Mandate. To her, climbing is her job, I like to think of a job separate from your life. Just saying... IHO
