Climbing to me is much more than just a mindless adrenaline rush, it's a way of life. My name is Hayden Kennedy and I have been lucky enough to find climbing. Climbing is my passion and every day that I am climbing I am completely psyched. To go through life without meaning is a wasted life. That meaning can be climbing, skiing, chess, reading, anything that gives you potent and happy life. When I am climbing all that is in my mind is the next foot hold or the next hand movement. That focus is what really attracts me to climbing. I love the feeling of being in the present and it is hard to have that feeling all the time. This past summer I was in Yosemite, California climbing for a month. Every day and all day was just climbing. My mind was only thinking about climbing and not what I was wearing or how I looked. Sometimes we tend to get caught up in the small things in life and they tear us to pieces. When I am climbing I have no prejudices towards anything or anyone, I am simply just moving up rock.
When it is all said and done there is nothing better than cut up hands, pumped arms and getting high on rocks.
