I don't want to be guy that almost climbed Dawn Wall.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It would be really easy to write off the Dawn Wall as impossible. In terms of climbing technique, I'm learning a new language on this granite.
The Dawn Wall and the Fitz Traverse were super-satisfying climbs. But I will always be searching for the next thing - the need to accomplish and explore are just woven into the fabric of who I am.
There's only a handful of chicks in the world who can climb big walls on my level.
I just want to be a wallflower. Nondescript. Just not anything. I don't want to see me.
Most people do not consider dawn to be an attractive experience - unless they are still up.
I want to be the guy out there on the edge.
I've shut myself inside these walls, and I'm going to be a very lonely old lady if I'm not careful.
If people want to put me up on their walls, I'll love it.
I don't want to be somebody else.
I've always wanted to be able to paint the dawn.
