Rest Step Your Way to Success

It’s moments like these, looking up at a steep climb, that I often think about a non-existent book I’ve imagined titled “Rest Step Your Way to Success” as a reminder that a steady, focused approach is sometimes the best and most efficient way forward. In the long run, the brief moment of respite provided during each rest step allows your body to maintain a pace you otherwise couldn’t—especially when the route ahead may be long and difficult (having a good rope team with people you trust to keep you safe also helps).
