“Why would you climb if you don’t like heights?” “It’s not about heights. When the slightest shift in the position of one finger can make a difference, it’s about skill—balance, agility and precision.” “You’re an adrenaline junkie?” “Total opposite.” Will flicked back his hair. “Climbing takes me to some stripped-down spiritual place. Stress, worry—both disappear. When I’m climbing, my mind empties of everything but the purity of the moment. The world shrinks to what’s directly in front of me.
Climbing is Will's spirituality. When he's above the world, he feels as if he's talking to God.
