Last weekend I attempted the El dienete to Mt Wilson traverse with @cassie_davies. 15ish miles and 5k feet, with the traverse itself being a mile long section of 3rd and 4th class.We got about 90% of the way done, and bailed right before Mt Wilson because we weren't feeling it.Could we have finished it? Probably. But if we aren't feeling good, there's no point in going on. I use to put completing the objective above all else — and this has caused me regrets in the past. I regretted how I treated others, and it caused me anxiety to live up to those objectives.Now I put the stoke above all else — and when that's gone, we're done. The mountains will always be there — so let's try to only make good memories in them.
